I've solved it for me now with a new graphics card. Couldn't bare the nomodeset anymore knowing there was an alternative solution. Imagine how much I am attached to Ubuntu to rather buy a new graphics card then to switch to another OS ;-).
We can keep it open if you want further investigation and it might help with others. For me personally it is solved with the new graph card, so it can be closed as well.

I tried both gdm3 and lightdm login managers, with either I don't get into the system. I am using Intel 2nd generation (Sandy bridge) CPU with on-board GPU: HD Graphics 2000. I have an external 24" ASUS display connected with VGA (tried HDMI as well but same problem). UPDATE: I now use "nomodeset" since that is the only way to get into the system. However, graphics are low and there's only 1 screen resolution available (1280x1024) which does not suit my screen at all.
