If you want an easy way and you can get to the command line F1, then install SMXI and run it. http://smxi.org/docs/smxi-manual.htm#install First login as root and then "apt-get update && apt-get install unzip" then "cd /usr/local/bin && wget -Nc smxi.org/smxi.zip && unzip smxi.zip && smxi" It will install the nvidia video driver for you and do other neat things too, it's not the Debian way, it's an easy way and always works for me.
