I don't know why you're getting that... seems strange. Can you post
the kernel line of your /boot/grub/menu.lst?
Well, see below. Now I've already uninstalled nvidia...

OK, so that means that your system does not have the nouveau driver
(your initramfs still might).

Hmm.. I doubt that it's dualhead, you would have to configure that in
your xorg.conf before it worked with the NVIDIA driver.
Can you post this?
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep -i driver
I'm sorry I didn't see your post before I uninstalled nvidia. But I
had created a fresh xorg.conf via nvidia-xconfig and I'm certain it
used nvidia.
