Using the tool nvidia-xconfig I was able to reactivate the nVidia driver in Xorg. But after rebooting the tool nvidia-settings still complained: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
After that I tried to enable a driver using Jockey and selected the first driver without success (could not activate the driver).
