Just a quick note on nvidia (or ati) proprietary drivers: they need the
corresponding kernel version package.
If you installed the driver from Debian non-free, you'll need the
matching versions of "nvidia-glx-*" and "nvidia-common-*".
If you compiled the driver downloaded from nvidia site, you'll need the
matching kernel headers package for your current kernel version.
