Petr:  Delete the /etc/xorg.conf file, toggle the nvidia-96 driver
off/on at System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers, and restart
the computer.

The "Failed to allocate/map the primary surface" error is caused by a
missing AddARGBGLXVisuals option in the xorg.conf file.  Jockey creates
a correct xorg.conf file.

Some cards don't start if this option is missing, and others get GL
artifacts like the desktop wallpaper being used in all transparencies.
