Description Tejas Guruswamy 2010-02-28 16:27:10 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.0) Gecko/20100115 SUSE/3.6.0-1.2 Firefox/3.6

on a Working installation of openSUSE 11.3/Factory in VirtualBox OSE 3.1.4 (openSUSE 11.2 host) X causes an oops when loading the vboxvideo / drm modules

Using Factory kernel-default 2.6.33-3.1
VirtualBox 3.1.4 guest additions and kmp-default
Xorg server 1.7.4 / 7.4

On starting X you get a black screen; ssh'ing into the affected machine shows error messages.

Removing /lib/modules/*/vboxvideo.ko allows X to start up fine but with no 3d acceleration.

Same result from guest additions compiled and installed from upstream ISO.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install v3.1.4 guest additions with kernel modules
2. Start X
Actual Results:  
X crashes

Expected Results:  
X starts with 3d acceleration

General gist of the message is:
 kernel:[ 1143.721618] Oops: 0000 [#71] SMP

Yes, the latest package from Virtualization:VirtualBox works for me.
No crashes and 3d-acceleration works.

Thanks for the quick fix! Should have spotted that one myself :)
