Everytime you reboot? That seems odd. The only time you should have to
install the nVidia (I'm assuming the non-free ones from nvidia's site)
is when you upgrade or change your kernel.
Typically my behaviour after a new kernel image is installed gdm will
fail because nvidia module fails to load. I rebuild the module(s),
modprobe it, restart gdm, and all is well. But not every reboot.
Since you are using unstable, I would suggest going to the devel lists
rather than the user list.
