:-) Solved.
Tried pasting in cc_config.xml this:

like it is shown here http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=2979&nowrap=true#24915

and it worked. 2 WUs are running, and 2 started to downolad.

Thank everyone so much for your help.

I'm using my i7 IGP to drive desktop and light gaming (actually, all my gaming since some time) since some time. Keeps my GPU happily crunching undisturbed :D

I can only imagine that when more powerful integrated graphics come out, one may be able to use that for some decently intensive gaming while their dedicated cards can crunch, as you said, undisturbed. In addition, one might be able to use integrated graphics itself for crunching, but then you wouldn't be able to play games that well.

On APU's such as AMD's A10-5800K you can already game and crunch. You can't do this at GPUGrid of course as their GPU isn't an NVidia and NVidia don't make traditional desktop CPU's or APU's. The do of course have a Tegra lineup which is used in mobile devices, but they are not powerful enough for here.
From experience the 'apparent' drawback of these APU's is that you can't readily crunch on a discrete card and use the APU for the display (to game, work, watch video, web-browse). Maybe this has/will change? Conversely, using some of Intel's CPU's do allow you to use their sort-of APU to feed a display while you crunch on a discrete GPU. However, at present you can't crunch on their IGP's, although in theory you could (some 3rd Generation Intels are OpenCL/GL capable).
