I've installed the sources and be able to install the proprietary nvidia drivers but the problem remains,
look what i got in the output of a 3d game exited while i tried to change resolution:

X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request: 150 (XFree86-VidModeExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode)
  Value in failed request: 0x25b
  Serial number of failed request: 497
  Current serial number in output stream: 499
