ralf, if it is a simple procedure to enable the ATI graphics chip, i think that would be a helpful troubleshooting step... as far as i know, in this PPA https://launchpad.net/~falk-t-j/+archive/lucid , falktx has patched abogani's realtime kernel with the patches necessary to utilize the proprietary nvidia drivers... i use the PPA purge feature in ubuntutweak when testing a PPA with so many different packages in it... another easy trouble-shooting step would be to download KXstudio, run it live, and see if you can get to the desktop, and see if you can boot the -realtime kernel, see what graphics driver is being used, and what kernel version...
