JW,

I have been doing other things lately and had no time to check the answer
from you. But during that period of time, I got another graphics card based
on nVidia chips.

This solved the problems and the errormessages regarding this part are gone.
So I guess you were right in your assumptions that the graphics card was the
problem.

To anyone else reading this thread: Go with a nVidia based graphics card for
now. It will most likely be supported. Problem solved!

Thank you very much for all help and suggestions.
