Is this still an issue with a newer driver? 270.41.06-1 is now available in unstable. For your logs, the dmesg output while loading the module would have been interesting. The Xorg.0.log says this: (EE) Dec 31 11:44:54 NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device PCI:2:0:0. (EE) Dec 31 11:44:54 NVIDIA(0): Please check your system's kernel log for additional error (EE) Dec 31 11:44:54 NVIDIA(0): messages and refer to Chapter 8: Common Problems in the (EE) Dec 31 11:44:54 NVIDIA(0): README for additional information.
