My apologies - I didn't suggest that the problem was in the vboxdrv driver - I suggested that it was caused by a module compiled and installed for the previous kernel version.

It just happened that I had only one module installed for a previous kernel version (the vboxdrv module - after I removed all the old fglrx modules) and my contention was that it was this conflict between modules compiled for different kernel versions that was causing the problem. Whether it was the vboxdrv module, or some other module I don't know. What's your dkms status output? Do you have any dkms-handled driver modules compiled for an earlier version of the kernel? Could they be conflicting with the new version of X?
