Not yet.

You're the man! I now get an image, though it isn't really good. It jumps, has 
wrong colors and some things appear again as shadows. I will try some 
permutations of the module options and report back.

Yes. Unfortunately debian stable doesn't have the needed autoconf/automake 
versions. As upgrading them isn't fun, I left that option for later. 
(Propably I will by then switch to debian unstable.)
