vboxvideo error

I am running VirtualBox v4.2.16 on Windows 8, trying to install RHEL 6.1 Enterprise Linux as a guest, with GUI.
When I try to install Guest Additions in RHEL 6.1, the OpenGL support module failed.
In the /var/log/vboxadd-install.log, it says,
/tmp/vbox.0/vboxvideo_drm.c: In function 'vboxvideo_init':
/tmp/vbox.0/vboxvideo_drm.c:176: error: too many arguments to function 'drm_pci_init'
/tmp/vbox.0/vboxvideo_drm.c: In function 'vboxvideo_exit':
/tmp/vbox.0/vboxvideo_drm.c:185: error: implicit declaration of function 'drm_pci_exit'
And I cannot find any solution to this. Therefore can anyone help?
Thanks

Re your problem, please post a VM log file: read

Sorry, as a Linux newbie, I do not know how to get the /var/log/vboxadd-install.log file out from the Linux guest.
Please help.

Do you mean the guest info? I've attached the guest info.

Just realize another Vbox.log. Attached it now.

You need to enable 3D acceleration in the guest settings display section for the drm module to operate.

I have turned on the 3D acceleration in the setting, however the same problem occurs.

Post the guests log file (as an attachment) again.
See
Online Users Manual for the location of the file.

This is the latest VBox.log file. Not sure this is the file you want.
Thanks.

This log shows that you have enabled 3D and VirtualBox sees the hosts ability for OpenGL. But there is no mention of the guest using the package. I need to see the following files from the guest. (as an attachment)
/var/log/vboxadd-install.log
/var/log/vboxadd-install-X11.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

Sorry, as a Linux newbie, I do not know how to retrieve the files out of VirtualBox.
I do not even know how to copy and paste from vi.
Please help.

I manage to find my way out. Attached is the log file for
/var/log/vboxadd-install.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
I do not have
/var/log/vboxadd-install-X11.log
Thanks.

Try this. In a terminal as su/sudo run the following command and then reboot the guest.
If that doesn't fix the issue then try installing the guest additions again. Watch the terminal window close for any errors and post the exact error message if it finds one.

I try this before, it doesn't work.
I even reinstall the RHEL 6.1 fresh, however the Guest Additions simply appears with OpenGL support module failed.
