nvidia drivers are now extremely easy to install on debian. No need to:

$ apt-get install -t testing nvidia-graphics-drivers
$ m-a update && m-a a-i nvidia

Instead one just do:

$ apt-get install nvidia-kernel-dkms

I can finally switch to my mac mini on DVI and then back to my debian station on DisplayPort.

Cheers
