Sorry for my extremely short answer.
I found Envy on this page...
http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
It is an application for Debian and Ubuntu that detects your video card, 
setup the proper driver and configure Xserver (xorg.conf). It works for 
NVidia and ATI drivers. It also has a "uninstall" command and GUI and 
textual interface. The homepage is self-explanatory.
