Hi Yorvyk,

Thanks for the detailed hint. I tried what you suggested, but to no 
avail. I did notice the two disting monitors/screens, but still, the 
darn thing froze on me.

I googled some more and finally found the answer here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes#Workaround%20A:%20Re-enable%20KMS

Re-enabling KMS as described in the wiki worked fine for me.

Cheers from the rainy South of France,

Niki
