have you compiled the drivers you got through APT? when you do
# apt-get install nvidia-kernel-src nvidia-glx-src
I didn't do that, but XFree seemed to have found a Nvidia GLX module and driver module. Just maybe not the right ones.
it'll only download the drivers and put them in proper location to be
recompiled with your kernel source.
so, once you have the packages installed, you should do:
# cd /usr/sr/$KERNEL_SOURCE
# make-kpkg modules_image
# cd ..
# dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-`uname -r`_0.9.769-1_i386.deb
Okay, I did this and got the same results. Everything is loaded up, but still get nvidia_drv.o unrecognized symbols.

Hey! I just noticed that EDID killed all the modes. I placed an
Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"
And whammo! X starts ups! I guess those Symbol errors were just red herrings.
for more details, see:
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-src/README.Debian
for nvidia-glx, see
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-src/README.Debian
as the build procedure is slightly different
D'OH!! I only checked the readmes in the nvidia*src directories.

Thanks for your help!
TuxRacer is a blast...just gotta get sound to work now.
