Perhaps you got another model/type?

Oh I hadn't thought of that and just tried: I'm getting a picture, so I could use the console now. Perhaps there's some option for the nvidia module I should use. I'll have to look into that ... Hm, and strange is that I'm pretty sure that I used 'nomodeswitch', yet that isn't there. I don't know if that's still required, though. It might already fix it. So I need to read some documentation tomorrow ... -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.
