Thanks for the link Jack. Very good instructions, but I'm missing

any video options at all. Something I must have missed along the way.
You're not missing anything. Xorg in Lenny now does a lot of automatic
configuration and will usually detect the correct driver, but in this
particular case it doesn't. Just make sure you have the nvidia-glx
package (or nvidia-glx-legacy, depending on your chip--see the package
descriptions) installed and you will need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and
add a line
Driver "nvidia"
I tried this. Same thing, only 640x480 resolution :-(
AFAIK, I have no nv.ko nor nvidia.ko files present on the system.
in the "Device" section. It might work without it (haven't tested
myself) if you don't have the xserver-xorg-video-nv package, though I
prefer to keep it installed, just in case nvidia is making trouble.
Such precautions are usually not necessary on stable (which lenny is
very close to).
