And lastly, given that you are using lenny, you can instruct Xorg to use 
"nv" driver instead "nvidia". This can be easily done by editing the "/
etc/X11/xorg.conf" file (remember to do a backup of the original 
xorg.conf file before making any change) and adding at the "Device" 
section:

#Driver         "nvidia"
Driver         "nv"

And reboot (or restart the X server) to commit the changes. If swapping 
the driver still makes no difference, now finally yes, I'm out of 
ideas :-)
