you should have gotten this message via debconf: Setting up xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-96xx (96.43.23-90) ... Configuring xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-96xx ------------------------------------------------- NVIDIA legacy 96xx driver is no longer supported. NVIDIA Corporation has not updated the legacy 96xx driver to support current X servers, so this driver is no longer usable. For graphics adapters that are not supported by a newer NVIDIA driver generation, the best option is to use the free Nouveau driver. To switch to the Nouveau driver, uninstall all NVIDIA driver packages and remove all NVIDIA-specific configuration from /etc/X11/xorg.conf (and xorg.conf.d/). The Nouveau driver (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau) should work without needing any specific xorg.conf settings. If you need 96xx, stick to wheezy (at least for the Xorg stack) and take the 96xx driver from wheezy-backports.
