Hello everyone,
after the latest stable update there was some problem with my graphic card driver and my system booted into a black screen. I was using video-linux and changed to video-modesetting which solved the problem.

However, the system freezes from time to time with this driver.
Now, I am really not sure which driver to use. The available drivers are:

I read that video-vesa is only for really old hardware, video-linux is not working, video-nvidia-470xx can not be installed (the error message is error: target not found: linux512-nvidia-470xx) and video-nvidia-390xx is not supported since the latest stable update.
Here is some information about my system:
