I know this might seem like a dumb question, but did you install the
OpenSource Nvidia drivers? Or even the Nvidia drivers from Nvidia
themselves and make sure they were working and tested correctly?

Sorry, sound like an idiot, it seems you did. What are the contents of
your xorg.conf and after you installed nvidia-glx and it failed did you
try running: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from console?

Consider trying out the nvidia-glx driver. Install it using
module-assistant:

update-pciids
apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-source
m-a prepare
m-a clean nvidia
m-a a-i nvidia
apt-get install nvidia-glx
depmod -a
modprobe nvidia

#### This is only necessary if you start to use nvidia for the first time:

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg


(I don't know if all these steps will be necessary for you, the
update-pciids step in particular may be redundant, but it doesn't hurt
anything. I took this from
http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/nvidia.html )

Let us know if it works. Or not.
