Kernel-Source reconfigured with the above mentioned options. I could not find
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU in gconfig GTK-kernel configurator, so I used gedit to search
this option and change it from 'm' to 'y' instead [see attachment].
The build went OK, but the kernel-image was not bootable. It hung at a 
boot-time of
[0000000] at the point where the root-file-system's UUID was echoed. The sceen 
flashed to
black for a moment, then the boot-process stopped
the current default-kernel-image still boots correctly and runs nicely, too.
Slowly but surely I learn liking the colour-depht of 8 bit, ie. 256 colours, as 
there
does not seem to be any possibility to change this and the gnome-backgrounds 
and most
web-pages appear in some kind of pop-art style, which does not look so 
unpleasant really,
rather reminding of some psychedelic visual effects.
