You should have either nvidia-kernel-173.14.09 or
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-96.43.07 not both.
For you card the legacy driver is not needed. Current works fine.
So remove nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx-dev
nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx-ia32 nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6-amd64
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6-openvz-amd64
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26.2-amd64
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26.2-openvz-amd64
nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-96.43.07
Then make sure you have nvidia-kernel-source installed. Build it for
your current kernel with:
m-a a-i -t nvidia
Then install nvidia-glx
Then use nvidia-xconfig to update the xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver
rather than nv.
