I have removed all nvidia-* packages, and make nouveau disabled,
and installed latest official driver v256.53...
3D scenes still not work, 2D scenes seems fine...

PS: This driver works fine on openSUSE-11.3

You aren't using the lucid kernel, you are using a 3rd party kernel. The current lucid kernel is 2.6.32-24

Try booting to the official lucid kernel.

Yes, But I have used the Lucid kernel, it does not work,
so I upgrade the kernel to 2.6.35 which in 'maverick alpha 3'
not work too :-)

Very strange...
