It can't find the "nv" drivers, check that it is installed
(package xserver-xorg-video-nv).

And just to be modern and up-to-date, after you have that
sorted out, you could try moving xorg.conf to xorg.conf.old
and see if everything works that way (good chance it will).
If you do need an xorg.conf, it will probably be just one
section or so.
