By any chance did you try using the nvidia driver straight from
nvidia's website? I have never had issues with the one from them,
though at the same time I have never tried the driver provided in the
debian repos.
If you go that route, the nvidia installer requires the version of gcc
used to build the kernel to build the nvidia module. Since the
default gcc is set to gcc-4.3 (unless it was changed by the user) the
installer requires you to export a CC variable set to the version of
gcc needed to build the nvidia kernel (this will be gcc-4.1 on Lenny).
The installer also updates the xorg.conf file to use the new module.
