after i did as root:

798 -hsync +vsync
and repeated the install procedure with *the* script, it worked.
at that moment i remembered i forced on my other machine X into a
1024x768 resolution with the same xrandr-command.
of course i can be wrong: yet there seems to be a connection between the
xrandr-command and the success installing the nvidia-driver with the
script. maybe because $xrandr gave 800x600 as highest possible
resolution (after installing xserver-xorg the debian way) and *before*
the xrandr newmode-- && command.
what do you think??
I'm not familiar with xrandr. I use Control Center-Screen resolution. Mine is
a Dell 21" flat panel, and it is set to 1680 X 1050, 50Hz.
....well: i made twice a fresh lenny-install on a spare hd. *without*
the xrandr command the script worked perfect. so i conclude that i made
the first time a fault myself.
the nvidia-driver is, as you said way better than the freesource
nv-driver: much faster. old classic movies, like 'the treasure of the
sierra madre' with humphrey bogart, run perfect again!
thank you again,
reg.,
