Hi Daniel,

I could install the NVidia driver after you obviously made some updates.  I
installed 173 a couple of days ago first and recommended drivers after new
updates later.  I had the impression that it was important to install the
old drivers first.

I still have a test partition left if you want me to test something.

Thanks and best regards,
Dirk
