Don't know if this helps, bu I think you need to download nVidias own
modules. I've not (yet) tried it on debian, but it works with mandrake
and I guess X is mostly the same.
Basicly I just installed the to packages (rpm since it was mandrake
but ordinary tar exists), adjusted the x config file to the new driver
(vnidia instead of nv etc.), and it worked.
There's an old mini-howto that might be usefull, at least take a quick
scan.
