In fact, the problem is on xorg. I did an online update for xorg 7.2,
and then the x server display's me just a black screen. Then i edited
xorg.conf and disabled loading of dri, glcore and glx. Now it works
fine. But image quality is less good :( I'm using a via onboard via
adapter, and it seems that the dri/drm support on it is  broken. Maybe
someday i upgrade to a really 3d card.
