The problem is the WAF factor here. My family is spoiled with MythTV and I 
have a
hard time ;-)
I am sorry, but I think I have to go back to the old driver....
But any hint/help is welcome here. The logs look fine (finally) and I only have
one instance of libGL here. One strange thing is that glxgears gives me only a 
black window
though.

BTW. The new version also creates a strange pixel disturbance on the right 
edge of the screen.
More than 1 pixel  and not on every scanline???
