I reverted too to the "nv" driver and I have no crash so far, but
some application just can't to start.

I get the error message on xterm window:

$ /usr/brlcad/bin/mged
Initializing and backgrounding, please wait...Xlib: extension "GLX"
missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
ogl_open: Can't get an appropriate visual.
Done

$ neverputt
neverputt: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

Any advices?

Make sure you have

Load "glx"

in the "Modules" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Did you use the nvidia installer script earlier? In that case you have
to reinstall the "xserver-xorg" package to restore the original Xorg
GLX module (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so).

If that does not fix it then you should post the output of

egrep -i '^\((EE|WW)\)|glx' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Yes, I did.

I reinstalled the "xserver-xorg" package.

Your X server still tries to use nvidia's GLX module:

(II) LoadModule: "glx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"
(II) Loading extension GLX
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)

Try to reinstall xserver-xorg-core.

Please post the output of the following commands:

ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/

dpkg -l \*nvidia\*

dpkg-divert --list '*glx*'

ls -l /etc/init.d/nvidia*

It may seem drastic, but since you've tried everything else, I would
purge all the X stuff and then reinstall. Make sure that you keep a
copy of the X config stuff for reference but get it out of /etc so that
it doesn't get reused.

Purge all the nvidia-* packages; their status has to be "pn" or "un".
Then make sure that the nvidia* scripts in /etc/init.d were removed by
that. Verify that the libglx diversion has been removed:

/usr/sbin/dpkg-divert --list '*glx*'

After that it should work.

I did so.

Now I use "nvidia" driver again and can to login to X Window.

I can to use X Window, but unfortunetly it freeze randomly.

Maybe the problem is that that I use Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, because I red here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/support_known_issues.html
->
http://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/37395/93.71_open.pdf

an open issue.
