SOLVED. In my last response I had overlooked Sven's comment about having updated the wiki. I have now looked at the updated wiki and the suggested new xorg.conf file did the trick -- verbatim even, and I'm now using the NV driver. More precisely, I blacklisted nouveau in a blacklist-nouveau.conf file and created a new xorg.conf file, specifying the NV driver (I also re-blacklisted nvidiafb in /etc/modeprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf ).
Camaleón and Sven, thank you both for your help! And thanks for bearing with my newbie faux pas. :) Sven, you mentioned that neither NV nor Nvidia legacy will work whenever I eventually upgrade to Wheezy. Can you suggest what I prepare to do?
