Indeed I have install the proprietary nvidia legacy driver, just after
Debian installation.
No problems with that. Runs smoothly.

OKI I've done some pinning. :-)
I created this etc/apt/preferences:

Package: *
Pin: origin http://mirror3.mirror.garr.it/
Pin-Priority: 10

Now some updates were installed (only one nvidia related), but
Synaptic warned me, that couldn't configure successfully, all the
installed packages.
So, I gave as root "aptitude -f install" that uninstalled some
packages (and the nvidia related one).
Now everything seems to be OK!

THANKS AGAIN!!! :-)
