Make sure you have xserver-xfree86 installed. And let debconf configure X for you. If you choose the wrong option in debconf you can go back and do it again by typing "dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xfree86" The -plow is for "priority low" just so it asks you everything it can. I recommend choosing the simple monitor configuration, advanced sometimes doesnt seem to work even if you're sure you chose all the right options. You should be able to make X work using the nv driver and then switch to nvidia if that works ok. (I hope i got that the right way around) If debconf doesnt offer the nvidia module then you can just edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and change the driver in there. I hope that makes sense.
