Hi Karl,
I am running Debian sid. Maybe you could start without kdm or gdm (just
move /etc/init.d/kdm somewhere else), and stop it. If they are no running,
you can start X with the command startx. The advantage is, you can see in
stdout, what is not working, and why it is not working. Often this is helping
to find reasons, why X will not start.
The versions abobe 100.14.09 must use Xorg7.3 and higher, due to a new ABI in
the Nvidia drivers.
Just take care, nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx are the versions, which belong
together. Sometimes it is necessary, to unload and load the nvidia-kernel
module manually.
Good luck !
Hans
