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. --Maik
