Hi,
As suggested, use the Debian 6.1 kernel.
This is a laptop from around 2008 if I'm reading the spec. correctly.
This is a laptop with an older Nvidia card. How did you install it?
Did you try to install the Nvidia drivers at any point? I can't
find out whether this is one of the machines that has dual chipsets
(one Intel / one Nvidia). If so, have you used the instructions
for bumblebee/primus or whatever the appropriate magic now is?

Ideally, if you're running Debian stable, don't revert to prior versions.
Apt-get update to ensure that you're running the latest point release.
All the very best, as ever,
