Try _not_ using a framebuffer device. I got the same problem the first time I installed Debian :-) It took me a day to figure that out... I'm using NVidia GeForce2 MX-400, without the enhanced drivers at that time... dpkg-reconfigure will prompt you if you want to use the kernel framebuffer device interface, to which you can say _no_.
