hi Martin Ueding,

froum your Output, I can see, that you do not have the proprietary driver  
installed, but the opensource-driver nouveau.
Look at this line in your Output:

configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0


For getting things to work correctly, you need to install the proprietary  
driver.

For this, go to the controlcenter and there go to additional drivers. Then  
activate the proprietary driver.
This uninstalls the nouveau-driver. And in my eyes, the nouveau-driver is  
really dangerous, because with this,
the graphuccard turns way to hot.

After having installed the proprietary driver, you need to reboot your  
machine to get the driver working. Attention:
the Output of jockey is still wrong. But in my further postings, I gave  
hints, how to check, that the driver is
working and to show you, that this is not a bug in nvidia anymore but in  
jockey-gtk.
So look at my previous postings for checking, that your driver is working  
correctly.

Greetings
