Just another thing to try.
Issue "lspci | grep VGA" and put here the output.
If your nvidia card is indeed 9400 GT you can try the nvidia driver
available within Debian repositories. I am using that with my old
nvidia 7600 GS and have no problems at all.
In fact, I've also got them installed for my Quadro NVS 440:
***
sm01@stt008:~$ dpkg -l | grep nvidia
ii nvidia-glx 173.14.09-5 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver
ii nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-2-amd64 173.14.09+3+lenny1 NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26
ii nvidia-kernel-common 20080825+1 NVIDIA binary kernel module common files
***
I followed the steps provided at Debian wiki (pre-built modules):
