1.
Before you downgrade, try to set up a xorg.conf, perhaps this is all you
need. The xorg.conf I'm using is attached, you might need to change the
monitor settings.
2.
I've got a 7200GS. NVIDIA lists my card as 7200GS/7300SE. On my machine
everything is ok.
The solution is to downgrade X to stable. My X seems to be a mix of
stable and outdated testing packages, unfortunately those testing
packages aren't available anymore, hence you need to downgrade X
completely to stable.
For the cards we are using nvidia 173.14.30 is ok, that's the driver
package I'm using. The Kernel running here is 2.6.39.
I didn't run into dependency hell, anything else is from testing.
I really wonder hat people claim to get issues regarding to
dependencies, when downgrading X. I also wonder that they won't
downgrade, but keep a broken X.
It's your decision to downgrade or not to downgrade.
