and have GPU: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73
[GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a1)
Using aptitude I'm searching for the proper nvidia driver but can't find
it. I have now installed the xserver-xorg-video-nvidia driver but still
can't get the X Window system; I get error when I start startx:
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 3: /usr/bin/X: No such file or directory
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 3: exec: /usr/bin/X: cannot execute: No
such file or directory
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
Which package to install with aptitude to get my X Window system again?

Already installed.

Have not in the repository (main contrib non-free).
I'm trying to run nvidia-settings but get error message:
ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings
--help` for usage information.
Don't know what to do further to get X Window?

Try the command "m-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source", that should build the kernel.
You must have the correct environment available. Just call m-a, then in the
menu go through the points like Overview and Update. Make sure, all necessary
kernel-headers are installed.
Then you can try the already mentioned m-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source. If
something was missing (like the kernel headers), then nvidia-kernel-dkms will
be built during the download and installation of the headers.
Make sure, everything as above is installed. If it still doesn't work, feel
free to ask again.
Good luck!

Yes, I'm sure about the right kernel-headers.
I did Update in m-a.

I did 'm-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source'.

Now when I run startx to try it out I get messages:
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
xinit: connection to X server lost
waiting for X server to shut down Server terminated successfully
(0). Closing log file.
I have Xlog here> http://paste.debian.net/132475/
What can be here the problem?
