Another question: Which nvidia drivers are you trying to use? I don't
think the version in squeeze can handle any of the backports kernels.
But the backported nvidia driver certainly can.
Another possibility is that your card may not be supported by the
newest drivers. Make sure it is. What model is it? (lspci | grep VGA).
If it's relatively old, you might need the 173.xx series or the 96.xx
(there is also 71.xx, but don't even bother, this only works with
xserver-xorg 1.4 !). None of these are backported but you can get them
from sid.
