Thanks for the quick reply,

I tried some more and found out that using the nvidia-glx-legacy driver (7184), x starts, altough without glx support (glxgears segfaults). I still have the same problems (black screen after x start) with the nvidia-glx driver (9631).

The dpkg command you requested for both the 9631 and 9755 driver:

oliver@levvietop:/root/XLogs$ cat dpkg.log-9631
ii nvidia-glx 1.0.9631+2.6.20.5-15.20 NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org driver
ii nvidia-kernel-common 20051028+1ubuntu7 NVIDIA binary kernel module common files
oliver@levvietop:/root/XLogs$ cat dpkg.log-9755
ii nvidia-glx-legacy 1.0.7184+2.6.20.5-15.20 NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'legacy' dri
ii nvidia-kernel-common 20051028+1ubuntu7 NVIDIA binary kernel module common files

I used the same Xorg.conf for both configurations, it is attached to this comment.

On a side notice, switching between nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-legacy using apt didn't "just work". I had to rmmod nvidia; insmod /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/volatile/nvidia[_legacy].ko because otherwise the x server gave incompatible driver errors or just told me it couldn't install the nvidia driver.
