however after a reboot of the VM it appears to be working correctly.

That will be fixed in the final 3.2.10 release.

Well, I still got a few problems when using VBoxGuestAdditions_3.2.9-66155.iso in Arch Linux. The following error says failed to load kernel module "vboxvideo".

[    46.910] [drm] failed to load kernel module "vboxvideo"
[    46.910] (EE) [drm] drmOpen failed.
[    46.910] (EE) VBoxVideo(0): DRIScreenInit failed, disabling DRI.

However, in the previous output, I can see the vboxvideo module has already been loaded.

[    46.249] (II) LoadModule: "vboxvideo"
[    46.250] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vboxvideo_drv.so
[    46.266] (II) Module vboxvideo: vendor="Oracle Corporation"
[    46.266] 	compiled for 1.5.99.901, module version = 1.0.1
[    46.266] 	Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[    46.266] 	ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 8.0
[    46.266] (**) Load address of symbol "VBOXVIDEO" is 0xb74b7060

I can still startx, but when I drag the window around, I can see the window flickering.

I take it from the log snippet you posted that that is a 32bit guest.

cakebunny: could you please create a new ticket for your issue? I would do it myself, but I can't automatically subscribe you.

same problem here (cakebunny)v3.2.10. please help.

Resolution: duplicate
Status: reopenedclosed

I assume this is a duplicate of #7572. So either install (if possible) DKMS in your guest and do /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup or change the Makefile as proposed in #7572 and do /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup.
