Try 'modprobe nvidia' to see if you can load the kernel module. Might
be worth appending 'nvidia' to /etc/modules to make sure it is always
loaded at boot.
If you can't load the module then it probably isn't compiled for the
current kernel yet. To fix that do:
m-a -t prepare
m-a -t a-i nvidia
modprobe nvidia
