Thanks Gustin :) at Eastern and the last day after Eastern I had no time to focus the trouble.

There's a note by the NVIDIA coders ... *"Please note:* unfortunately, it has become difficult to keep track of the pre-/post-installation steps required for [K]Ubuntu, and the above instructions may be incomplete. If in doubt, it is recommended that you use your distributor's NVIDIA Linux graphics driver packages, exclusively." (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490) Even if I should use the onboard ATI again, I decided not to give back the NVIDIA card, because I'm curious about this problem. Btw. ASAP I'll try a packaged kernel + restricted-modules + nvidia-glx or what ever is pre-build to use NVIDIA's proprietary driver. Cheers!
