Reply to myself:
it seems, that the nvidia card isn't recognized by the nvidia kld.
xorg.log states:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module! Please
ensure
(EE) NVIDIA(0): that there is a supported NVIDIA GPU in this system,
and
(EE) NVIDIA(0): that the NVIDIA device files have been created
properly.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Please consult the NVIDIA README for details.
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
Wh00t? This card worked before...
nvidia0: <Unknown> on vgapci0
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_busmaster
vgapci0: child nvidia0 requested pci_enable_io
nvidia0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
nvidia0: [ITHREAD]
Something is odd here...
