Bug Description
Hi!
I have successfull installed the nvidia-Driver 173.14.09 for my Graphiccard NVidia GT9600 on Ubtuntu 8.04. Then i decide to install virtualbox. After installation of virtualbox the xserver starts with a warning "low resolution" window and the nvidia-setting say's that the driver isn't loaded.
So i deinstall virtualbox. Same as above. Then i install the nvidia-driver again. After this action the xserver loads the nvida-driver correct.
I retry it (install virtualbox). Same effect (low resolution window an not loaded nvidia-driver).
Then i try to download virtualbox direct from www.virtualbox.org and install it: Same effect: Not loaded nvidia-driver an low resolutionwindow.
Maybe cause of the nmi (i think virtualbox do something with it) ?
Best regards,
Kai.

This is probably because you've installed the wrong flavor of the virtualbox-ose modules. You probably need virtualbox- ose-modules- generic; you're booting a linux-386 kernel probably, but without the restricted nvidia modules/drivers.
I'm marking this as duplicate of 226960, which should include a workaround/fix for this (by removing the linux-386 kernel image and/or just booting the -generic kernel).
