The full procedure is:
update-pciids
Hardly useful or necessary with an old card as the GF6200.
apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-source
m-a prepare
m-a a-i nvidia
The nvidia-kernel-module-dkms package should make these steps
unnecessary.
depmod -a
Unnecessary, the postinst of the nvidia-kernel-$(uname-r) package runs
depmod for you.
modprobe nvidia
Not necessary but may help to diagnose problems if the module fails to
load.
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Useless in Squeeze, better set up xorg.conf by hand or run
nvidia-xconfig.

With DKMS, you may have to run through this all one time, then
install/configure the DKMS package.
dpkg-reconfigure only needs to be run once. Not necessary once first
install of glx driver is done.
Check to make sure all your X packages are up-to-date. If they are,
nvidia-xconfig will work properly.
My understanding that xorg was evolving away from xorg.conf. I know
that X has been ignoring my settings in xorg.conf, and doing whatever it
wants to. (It's frustrating).
