The module being referred to is the X module, not a kernel module. Did X get upgraded at some point? The thing that's messed up is /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/v4l_drv.* AFAICT. If you have any reference to v4l in your xorg.conf , then edit that file and comment that line out. Your webcam and/or TV tuner will stop being able to use XV, but you'll get X back. Also, grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf lspci | grep VGA ...will tell you which X module you're using and which graphics card you have. In fact, you should take your xorg.conf and put it on your website somewhere, then follow up with a URL here. > The problem seems to pertain mainly if not exclusively to the X server. > I tried running '/usr/sbin/XFdrake' and it seems to show that everything > is set correctly. XFdrake... something Mandrake-specific? Gah, most of these tools are rather poorly debugged. > Should I try to remove all files on the system pertaining to virtualbox? This shouldn't have any effect on anything, but sure, try your distro's equivalent of "yum remove virtualbox". FWIW, I installed virtualbox on my Thinkpad T42p a while back, and never had any problems with it horking up suspend-to-RAM or doing anything weird to X. Then again, I'm using Gentoo, and YDistroMV.
