Hallo Robert,
in the meantime I did a full portupgrade -arf (with hal support
and _only_ vesa-driver, keyboard and mouse support). I enabled
hald, dbus, moused (and uuidd - what t. h. is that good for?) in
/etc/rc.conf .
Xorg -configure got me a working xorg.conf (at low resolution),
some fine-tuning the same as before with s3virge. For the
archives I put my working xorg.conf to the end of this message.
Right now I am installing some serious applications and hope my
system will stay stable.
In the end I would conclude, that not xorg-7.4 and hald were the
problem, but that s3virge driver has gone crap and nv-driver
at least behaves strangely.
Thanks a lot for your support. I hope you will solve the
remaining 500 problems with xorg-7.4 as well!
Greetings,
Uli.
