I would first try to get it working with the "nv" driver. Make sure that
the "xserver-xorg-video-nv" package is installed. Then run as root:
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and select the "nv" driver. (You can move with the cursor keys and
select with SPACE.) Then you should run
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
If that does not work then you should go back to a terminal by pressing
CTRL + ALT + F1. (You may be sent back to the terminal automatically if
the X startup fails.) Then run the following command:
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and post the output here. (This will show us the error messages and
warnings of your X server.)
