Having trouble getting the /var/log/Xorg.log file. I don't have a recover mode to boot into. Every time my system locks up I use DSL4.0(live CD) to mount and correct my Debian xorg.conf file. I tried to copy Xorg.0.log to /etc/X11 but, when I gedit the file nothing shows in it.

OMG That's the same file nv log file sorry. I don't know how to get the nvidia log file.
Try renaming the startup link for your display manager in my case I would use mv /etc/rc2.d/S99kdm /etc/rc2.d/K99kdm then once you boot you can login and use startx this should save all the trouble of having to boot with a live CD just to get your file, when done with all this you can mv the file back to the original name so everything will work as it was.

Isn't this part of the driver?
(II) NVIDIA GLX Module 71.86.01 Wed Sep 5 20:40:19 PDT 2007
After trying to run the nvidia driver my computer locks up. After rebooting I tried to backup the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file so it can be presented to you. The files above are the result.
When I first tried to install this card a warning appeared.
nvidia-installer was forced to guess x library path '/usr/lib' If it fails to find the NVIDIA X driver module. please install 'pkg-config' utility and the xorg SDK/development package for the distribution and reinstall the driver.
I would like to try to reinstall the driver with these packets but, don't know the commands for them. If the installation fails after this I am going to rule it as a bad AGP slot due to the onboard video chip over heating. I tested the card on another computer with the same driver and it worked fine.
When I tried to nvidia-installer --uninstall
The uninstaller says there was a previous install attempted and it will try to remove the driver as best as it can. (I have used the other ideas from other websites to install the driver. I also tried to remove there ideas from my computer to try to get a clean driver install)
Right now I need to learn how to install 'pkg-config' utility and the xorg SDK/development package so I can try and reinstall the NVIDIA driver.
