Hi,
thanks for the quick response!

No errors, see at the end! (&other info too!)

I thought it! :) I should have been more specific:
the Version string in both drivers are the same, according to the "NVidia
Xserver Settings Utility".

Aha, I thought something similar.

I got reboots only, if I did _not_ use the drivers from the Nevada dvd, but the
drivers from Nvidia's site; that might be because what you wrote about the
driver's "Xen-awareness".
Now a few outputs: (see the degraded performance under i86pv!)
# uname -a

32085 frames in 5.0 seconds = 6388.705 FPS
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
(a few minutes, and a reboot later; from now on all outputs were made under
i86pv!)
