Hi José,

The problem lies in the primary buffer (extracted from your xorg.log):

[   153.672] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select"
[   153.735] (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate primary buffer: out of memory.
[   153.735] (EE) NVIDIA(0):  *** Aborting ***
[   153.735] 
Fatal server error:
[   153.735] AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

You have this graphic card:
GPU GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a (C61)

Have you tried to install the nvidia drivers 173 instead of 256?
Have you installed the latest grub-common and grub-pc packages (1.98+20100722-1ubuntu1)?

José, this is just an idea (if the above does not help), but you might try to edit the file:
/etc/grub.d/00_header
by adding an extra line after the line:
set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}

Add this line there:
set gfxpayload=keep

Like this:
...
set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}
set gfxpayload=keep
...

Save the file and then run in terminal:
sudo update-grub

and reboot (of course nvidia drivers installed and correct xorg.conf
after running "sudo nvidia-xconfig").
