Thanks, I did like you advised and it helped
(also I used sudo before, and at this time,
I have switched to root by su; may be it
was the problem).

Thank you.

But I have faced new problem.
When I run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run
and it wants to build a module, 
it fails with an error:

-----------------------------------------------------------
cat /var/log/nvidia-installer.log
...
   /tmp/selfgz4061/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.c: In function

   nvidia.ko failed to build!
   make[1]: *** [module] Error 1
   make: *** [module] Error 2
-> Error.
ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.
ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file
       '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  You may find suggestions
       on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
       driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
-----------------------------------------------------------

I have googled the error, and found that there is a bug 
in Debian [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481485]
(and I use Debian), which causes the error.

There are several workarounds in the discussion of the bugs. 
but I have not tried them yet.
