Is "nvidia" in /etc/modules?

Also, I installed the nvidia driver without module-assistant. Just
install linux-restricted-modules and the nvidia packages and you should
be fine. (Doing a search, with aptitude or synaptic, ought to show 4
nvidia packages, including some source. I'm away from that machine, so I
can't be specific.)
