I agree with you. Closer name of the subject is "nvidia-glx issue with
x-686 kernels"

I found solution, before "sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx
nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig"
needed perform the following steps:

1) sudo aptitude install module-assistant
2) sudo module-assistant prepare
3) sudo module-assistant update
4) module-assistant auto-install nvidia-kernel-source

It is a pity that  I do not understand why this is done, but it works.

May be better automate this procedure?

Thanks.
