I did have some issues with the nvidia driver, it got broken, and I
reverted to the nv driver for a while. That took a while to fix.
Eventually I decided that I had waited too long for new drivers to
show up in testing, so I decided to enable the unstable repository,
and installed X and nvidia from that. A few packages from unstable in
an otherwise testing level distribution is an option and in this case
it worked.
