you did it the nvidia way as opposed to the Debian Way, you mean? did
the directions i posted not work? that's too bad... anyway, your
solution is to add yourself to the video group. you can do this with
the vigr program (if you know how to use vi), or perhaps some invocation
of the adduser command, or maybe just editing the /etc/group file, adding
your username after the colon for the video group.
if you really don't care, you can just chmod 666 /dev/nvidia* (evil...)

the video group (and add yourself to the audio and cdrom groups while
you're at it), and then log out and log back in to your x session.
