Ok, so now I've reinstalled the drivers once again. Upon my first
reboot the startup would halt with the flickering white bar. Rebooting
mystically fixed it and I'm definitely running nvidia withour nouveau:

$ lsmod | grep nouveau
$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia               9318413  40
mbp_nvidia_bl           1755  0
i2c_core               20553  3 nvidia,videodev,i2c_nforce2

Looking at xorg.0.log however I find the following errors at the end
(everything else in the log looks alright to me):

[    29.046] RANDR failure: 8 (extension base 174)

When googling the RANDR failure I found this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/nvidia-video-driver-not-compatible-with-abi-version-7-of-x-server-1-7-99-a-798288/
made me think that my problems may be related to ABI as well. Hard to
tell now since I don't have the problem now... My graphics card is a
dual head; could that be causing me trouble?

I'm curious to see how long I can run this system now before it fails again...

best,
