OK. Thanks to all of you helped me finding my ways throught the 8.0
installation.
Next, I ran 3Ddiag to see if everything wnet fine. Here is the output:
3Ddiag version 0.397

I tried to reinstall NVIDIA_GLX, by first erasing it but, the rpm
command got killed. With the switch "-vv" I noticed that it got
killed while "getting list of mounted filesystems".
I can verify that that happens *only* with the NVIDIA_GLX package.
Does someone know how I could get rid of (properly) that package and
reinstall it?
Thanks,
