Finally I managed to make it work. I've installed the latest version of Ubuntu on a VirtualBox environment, and I've noticed that xsession is taking care of output display settings and xorg.conf file is not necessary anymore. So, I simply rename it and I was able to login to Gnome session. And I am able now to reboot and to shut down the machine (kernel versions 2.6.35-22 and 2.6.35-25, the 35RC1 throws some errors). At first sight, it seems that the xorg.conf file was causing the mess and, making it unavailable, solved my problem. Definitely it was something related to the video card settings.
thom thanks for your hint but it doesn't apply to my hardware configuration.
