Hello,

I do not know that nvidia card, but for nvidia I know two packages that 
need to be installed, 'xserver-xorg-video-nvidia' this package is nvidia 
version 375.xx and is the current nvidia for Sid/Testing and the other 
package is 'nvidia-driver', maybe installing package nvidia-driver will 
pull-in all you need, I don't remember, but this is the driver I run on 
this machine with geforce gt610.
