i and a few others have answered this question 3 or 4 times in the past week or so... for future reference it really helps to search through the mail archive for your question before asking it, but since i still have the answer grepped from my outbox, here's the "debian way":
- roll your own kernel with make-kpkg, or at least install the
kernel-headers package for your kernel version
# cd /usr/src/linux && make-kpkg binary
(then look for debs in /usr/src, or)
# apt-get install kernel-headers-2.x.x
- install the following packages:
# apt-get install nvidia-glx-src nvidia-kernel-src
- extract the nvidia module source
# cd /usr/src && tar xvfz nvidia-kernel-src.tar.gz
- build the kernel module for the nvidia card
# cd /usr/src/linux && make-kpkg modules_image
- then in /usr/src you should have a .deb package for nvidia kernel
# cd /usr/src && dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-2.x.x_rev_i386.deb
- then install the glx stuff
# cd /usr/src/nvidia-glx_version && dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
- go back to /usr/src, and install everything that starts with
nvidia-glx and ends with .deb
- finally, reconfigure X, which i strongly recommend that you do with
debconf
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
when you finally reconfigure your X server, there will be a new module
called nvidia, which you'll want to select.
hth, good luck
