Hey,
I followed this guide to install the proprietary drivers from
Nvidia:
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/10/27/how-to-install-nvidia-video-card-drivers-in-debian-lenny/
but i have no luck. X won't start if i let the "Driver "nvidiA""
section in xorg.conf untouched.
Can anyone guide me plz?

You need to at least post a copy of your xorg.conf file. And look in
/var/log for the log file. There is a file called X.org.0.log that
might help show any errors that X encountered when starting.

Hey,
You are right...
Here is my xorg.conf:

What i can find in the log is :
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver
not found)
Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic,
removing from list!
Could not init font path element
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType, removing from list!

Off hand, nothing jumps out at me regards the xorg.conf file. That
error msg should not have crashed X, per se. Check further down and see
if the Nvidia card is properly identified as to to type and PCI address;
for an AGP card usually PCI:1:0:0
Can you confirm that the nvidia drive "nvidia.ko" is in fact on your
system and located in the /lib/modules section for your version of linux?
