Although, I haven't fooled around with my bios settings for a long time, so I can't tell if IRQ for vga is on or off ;-). It worked like a charm with the debian nvidia-kernel-src and glx-src.

(I'm using direct from kernel.org) No packages, just plainly from kernel.org. Works. .14 seems to be one of the most stable kernels, lately.
