You are still trying to install the Sarge version of nvidia-glx which
depends on Xfree86 via xserver-common. Take the version from unstable or
experimental; these two depend on x11-common and are Xorg compatible:
$ apt-cache policy nvidia-glx
nvidia-glx:
Installed: 1.0.8776-1
Candidate: 1.0.8776-1
Version table:
1.0.9625-2 0
50 http://ftp.debian.org experimental/non-free Packages
*** 1.0.8776-1 0
500 http://ftp.nl.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1.0.7174-3 0
500 http://ftp.nl.debian.org stable/non-free Packages
