damn, sorry! Was away and did not see this. And it'll be some 2 weeks before I come back home so as to test it.
In the mean time, I simply removed the nvidia-package and gone with the nv driver. Had to quit Blendering because of the issue, but even without it the issue would still show up. As soon as I get back, I'll try to test it.
