Do you mean the nVidia accelerated X drivers? If so, apt-get install nvidia-kernel-src nvidia-glx-src for more make-kpkg goodness. make-kpkg modules_image will download, build and package the kernel part of nVidia drivers; the instructions in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx-src/README.Debian will explain how to build the X part. -rob
