Yes it does. Now in single user mode run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (or xfree-x86?? I use unstable and I don't know what stable uses, but I think it is xorg). Instead of driver nvidia, choose nv. If this does not re-write your config file, then manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for "nvidia" and replace it with "nv". Test. This will tell us if you have an issue with nvidia or not. -- Damon L. Chesser damon@damtek.com
