The package with the free driver is called xserver-xorg-video-nv; it is
available in Lenny/main in version 1:2.1.10-1. You should see it listed
if you run:
apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-nv
If this package is not available to you then something is wrong with
your mirror.
If you have the package installed you can run
grep /drivers/ /var/log/Xorg.0.log
after you start Xorg to find out which driver was loaded. For the nv
driver you should see this output:
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nv_drv.so

This should work via xrandr now; see the Debian wiki for more info:
