Thank you for your reply. The problem #2 was solved when I rebuilt the nvidia-module (as you said). The problem #1 was ridiculously skype (yes, 'net/skype') crashing the system. It doesn't use OpenGL and it is not related to nvidia. I think it crashed the system through the linux compatibility kernel module. Some seconds after starting it, the system frozen. When I rebuilt it (forced) the problem got solved. Best Regards, Ale
