I have a e-GeForce 7600 GS video card w/ 256MB DDR2 memory for PCI-E.
Im running the Debian Sarge distro @ testing (for the more up-to-date
software).
sarge = stable
etch = testing
Which are you running?

KDE loads via GDM by default but since i tried to switch to
Nvidia drivers it will not load at all. I cant even restore it. How do
i eliminate GDM and use just KDE?
To use KDM rather than GDM, either remove GDM (aptitude remove gdm) or tell
Debian to use KDM (dpkg-reconfigure kdm).

I'm not sure what the problem with the nVidia drivers is; try looking
at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
