Unfortunately, after the last upgrade of xorg the proprietary driver broke. So I tried the open-source one. It still doesn't work, locking up the entire system :( I'm using vesa for now. This was with ii xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:2.0.2-1 I believe I backed out the proprietary changes properly (commented out glx and nvidia, as well as the disabling of DRI and glcore--i.e., tested with dri and glcore enabled).
