Did any of these commands fail? How?
If not, your subject is misleading.

Please try with a minimal /etc/X11/xorg.conf as described in
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.Debian.gz instead of the xorg.conf
generated by nvidia-xconfig.

If this does not help, try a newer driver version. 260.xx drivers are in
testing, 270.xx in unstable.

Please use reportbug the next time you want to report a problem, it
collects a lot of useful information about your system.
