Why not install it like so

Code:

apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-glx

and reboot?

I believe the meaning of jim_p's suggestion is that it is not necessary to stop xorg, in order to install the driver. Simply install and re-boot.

You have to stop the display manager. On Debian Squeeze (standard install) it would be

Code:

service gdm stop

Replace that with the DM your system is using (for example slim, kdm, lightdm, ...).
