It happens something strange with that videocard...
During installation it's well configured, and all worked fine at reboot.
startx worked fine.
I copied /etc/X11/X* in /root and executed XFdrake.
XFdrake could configure the card, "test" was ok with ALL of the kind of
configuration: Xinerama, All heads and Single Head. I repeat: TEST IS OK IN
XFDRAKE!!! So I choose "Automatically start X at bootup".
Rebooted the system.
Nothing happened event in /etc/inittab reported "5" as initdefault. After few
minutes a message appeared: "Respawn is too fast"... All worked fine in
runlevel 3 anyway.
I rebooted again, tried to startx by hand and I got this message:

....what's happening?
1. There are no /root/XF86Config as I can see
2. Screen is OK because XFdrake's can test the configuration and it works
I really don't know what's bad with it...
