Alex you pointed me in the right direction, many thanks! I got it
working with 'nvidia' binary driver now, but I had to patch it. I've
attached it here just for reference if others want to try the same
and I don't know if it is the proper way. After some testing (Xorg,
DRI, VDPAU, switching between X and text-console) it looks like a stable
workaround for me now until NVIDIA will fix their driver.
