I checked all of the files you mentioned, but everything seemed to be in
order. So I tried a
  ./NVidia-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2.run 
--x-module-dir=/usr/lib64/xorg/modules  -s
which worked for this time on Alpha 3. Now I can run compiz again
without getting a white cube (though it seems working slower than on 10.2),
thank you all very much for your help,
have a nice time,
regards,
Tom
