I haven't had a chance to check that yet (I put my laptop away and it's charging now). However I think I've figured out the problem (see below...)

Thanks for that lead. On Thinkwiki.org (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/NVidia_Quadro_NVS_140m), I found that support for my chip began with the Nvidia 100.14.09 driver version (June 2007), while the etch stable package nvidia-glx uses the 1.0-8776 version (Oct 2006). Just to make sure, I looked at the README and sure enough, my graphics card isn't in there. This probably explains why it isn't working.

Apparently I was looking at the list for the latest (and wrong) driver version (http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html). Now, on to a solution. The unstable nvidia-glx does support my card, but I want to run the stable distribution. I know there are ways to configure apt/aptitude/sources.lst to have a mixed system, but is going through that worth it for just one package from the unstable distribution? (I'm avoiding the Nvidia installation script because I want to do this the "debian way" - it seems "cleaner" and has the added advantage of being integrated into the package management system.)
