Thanks for you answer!

The backport kernel isn't installed anymore because i couldn't get the 
nvidia drivers running.
Now I have installed the nvidia-glx package from the repos and tried to 
upgrade to the backport kernel. But xinit didn't work anymore. So I 
suppose I'd need to compile the driver.
Btw when I booted the new kernel it still was the same text progress bar.
