Yes I can and lsmod shows me that the nvidia driver is loaded but X
still does not find the driver.
Does lspci (from pciutils deb) show

I do think so. I'm using the default debian kernel 2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp

So did I. I've installed following two packages:
# dpkg -L nvidia-kernel-2.6.8-11-em64t-p4-smp
