What I do not understand is why it is not technnicaly posible to keep an already working solution for Nvidia cards, even if the development of new features for them is abandoned.

My understanding is that the culprit was
Mesa. The newer intel and radeon drivers needed an updated Mesa library. OpenBSD made the decision to support the more open and widely used drivers.

P.S.: Oh, I forgot: 4) NetBSD

In my opinion, Xorg in NetBSD is disjointed. The Xorg implementation that comes with the *.iso/*.img is very old.
Modular Xorg installs a newer version with the updated Mesa Library. I am guessing that you are using the older Xorg and if you were to try modular xorg you might experience the same problems.
I learned this the hard way by trying to use NetBSD on an old desknote with a Sis 630 video chip. The Sis driver also broke with the new Mesa libs.
I'm wondering why you don't use FreeBSD. Nvidea provided a FreeBSD driver and has good
documentation on how to do it.
