If you want to use the Nvidia drivers, you may find
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/ helpful. The
alternative, as Gnu-Raiz said, is to use the open-source nv driver. I
don't have any instructions posted yet about that, but it probably just
amounts to putting a line
Driver "nv"
in the right place in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, and restarting your X
server (or rebooting your host).
Good luck,
Andrew.
