Now I've said 'We told you so', I do hope this thread finds suitable workarounds for users who are affected, and if not, I'd strongly encourage the use of nouveau Nvidia drivers instead of the proprietary drivers, and the use of KVM instead of Virtualbox.
Do note that nouveau is not the only NVidia driver alternative. FOSS video driver development focus has been transitioning from chip-specific to generic[1]. That means instead of much of the effort that has in the past been going into intel, nouveau or ati/amd/radeon drivers, has been redirected into the modesetting driver. To use modesetting, the easiest way is simply to uninstall the chip-specific xf86- or proprietary driver. In Tumbleweed back in March Egbert Eich provided us with a new driver config technique using /etc/X11/xorg_pci_ids/*.ids. Docs about it I've yet to locate, but here are a few references: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=972126 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/377691 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/379539 [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/4cojj9/it_is_probably_time_to_di... -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
