Rebooted and modules were still OK, built the NVidia module, rebooted and it's OK. I didn't build VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.10_66523 modules this time to eliminate that as the problem previously appeared after I had rebuilt VBox as the last action before rebooting straight into X.
I'm now building 2.6.37-rc4-git1 and I shall repeat that sequence again. Regards Sid.
