You probably tried to use the Debian nvidia packages at some point and
you did not purge them from your system when you switched to nvidia's
installer. Check /etc/init.d/ for the presence of nvidia-* scripts. If
these scripts are still present then you have to purge
nvidia-kernel-common and whatever nvidia-glx* package you had installed
previously.
