Thanks for your time and willing to help!

I did that. Switching with Ctrl+Alt+F1 I see six little consoles on
one screen, no 1366x768 native at all. These six little consoles
appear only once, next time it is just a blank screen. Switch back
Ctrl+Alt+F7 works fine, though.

It is preferable for me to stick with NVIDIA driver, because I still
have a hope to play StarCraft II at 1366x768 one day. (There is
another thread here in list about that issue, SC2 in wine plays at
1360x768).
