I finally got this to work on Debian 8 with an Nvidia 6800 card. I say "finally" because the upgrade from Debian 7 to 8 must have left something not quite settled properly and I tracked it down to a symbolic link that was missing. I reported it as a bug to the nvidia-users list (IIRC) so the whole exchange should be there. When I upgraded to Debian 9, I could never get past the black screen. After a point in the boot process, the screen went black and couldn't be made to work no matter what I tried. No errors showed up in any log file. The system could be reached by ssh so everything but the video was working fine. I finally gave up and installed a Radeon video card. The system has been working fine ever since. It's an old Dell 8400 tower, with a large (dumb) Viewsonic monitor connected to the VGA port. Augustine
