Thanks for the pointer, it now works, you can close this bug. However I'd like 
to open a new bug (whishlist) to ask for inclusion of this information (the 
fact nv users need a xorg.conf) in one of the dialogs that appear during nv 
driver installation.

Although /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.Debian.gz does tell that quite 
clearly, the fact is few people will read that after the nvidia-kernel-common 
package said them that there is a conflict between nv and nouveau drivers, and 
that a reboot is enough to resolve it. At least I was led to think it was a 
nvidia-kernel-common bug, since what I experienced after reboot was exactly a 
conflict between nv and nouveau drivers...

Can you please tell me which would be the correct package where to file such 
bug?
