Camaleón asked for the goals. I agree with this question.
What version of Debian do you have installed?
What Nvidia graphics?
What computer?
Do you need perfect, very fast 3D acceleration?
What screen resolution will you use?
Depending to the answers one of 3 or 4 drivers might be ok.
Usually people will use the proprietary nvidia driver or the FLOSS
nouveau driver. Sometimes the old nv driver is the best way to go. Very
seldom vesa could be needed.
