Hey,
I followed this guide to install the proprietary drivers from Nvidia:
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/10/27/how-to-install-nvidia-video-card-drivers-in-debian-lenny/
but i have no luck. X won't start if i let the "Driver "nvidiA""
section in xorg.conf untouched.
Can anyone guide me plz?

You need to at least post a copy of your xorg.conf file. And look in
/var/log for the log file. There is a file called X.org.0.log that
might help show any errors that X encountered when starting.

Hey,
You are right...
Here is my xorg.conf:
