Sorry, you're right. It uses still the nouveau driver, the nvidia gets not loaded.
when I insert the nvidia-current module via modprobe, it gets loaded by the kernel (see "uname -a" output) without problems.

Linux aragorn 2.6.35-22-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Sun Oct 10 09:26:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I deinstalled xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, but X refuses tu use the nvidia driver.
BUT: I uninstalled nvidia-current, reinstalled xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, and now at least X recognizes my correct resolution again: 1680x1050.
But no desktop effects, (cannot be activated, check your config...") despite I see them working until I click ok. - then they get deactivated again - no chance to activate them persistently.
