nvidia-xconfig will create a usable xorg.conf that will include the nvidia driver and, in addition, will add other options
that can be specified on the command line.
Example: nvidia-xconfig --depth=30 --output-xconfig=my-xorg.conf

This xorg.conf will also merge in options that may already be present in your existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf

||/ Name                     Version          Architecture           Description
ii  nvidia-xconfig            331.67-1        i386                   X configuration tool for non-free NVIDIA drivers


I track the testing distribution, use only  the nvidia drivers packaged by debian and have no problem at all using
OpenGL applications like flightgear. My xorg.conf includes outputs from nvidia-xconfig as well as other options I added manually.


thanks,
--jack
