nvidia-96xx is an older driver for older chipsets. You should use the
nvidia-driver.

If you have kernel .33 installed, you might give the nouveau-driver a go.
This driver probably only supports 2D for your card, but you'll be able to
get a graphic desktop from which you can start experimenting with the right
settings for the nvidia-driver.
