Seemed to be OK, but a little on the slow side compared with my on-board Intel video. But that could have been an illusion. After I posted to the list I found http://linuxinside.blogspot.com/2008/03/debian-nvidia-drivers.html I used that method, which for me worked perfectly. But I know understand using the DebianWiki way might have been better in the long run - seems simpler after a Kernel update ???
