I think, there is no need to open a bugreport twice. At the moment I can use 
the nouveau driver, acceleration is not necessary the next time. When it is 
known, I suppose, it will be solved soon. 

It will be also a nice little job for me, to solve the problem on my own as it 
is a good way to study code and to understand. I don't want to be a coder, as 
it is not my passion, but I am still interested in learning and understanding 
things. Looking at this problem is a good way, I think. And if I do not 
succeed, no one cares and no one will blame me :))

So I will take a look for myself and if the problem will be fixed by the famous 
professionels, I will use theire fix.

Thank you very much for your help!

P.S. If I find a solution or a fix, I will send it.
