You "should" (as we know should shouldn't be) be able to get graphics running with a generic driver that comes with debian and then update it to the nvidia (you will still need to do this update outside of X).
NVIDIA drivers are governed by a proprietary license and are not included with any (that I'm aware of) distributions because of this proprietary license. You will have to go to nvidia's site (nivida.com/linux) to download it.

>From what I can tell...it appears that you can do that depending on what you want to sync it to...I've found comments about syncing to a number of KDE based apps...kontact, kmail, etc. Use the "google force" Luke...I mean Jesse.
Good luck!
