I had no issue with installing the nvidia drivers on my box other than the fact that is was a long winded process, and getting the glx module to work correctly was a pain. I got kernel-source 2.4.1-3, configured it to my needs, and built the kernel and then the modules with: # make-kpkg kernel_image # make-kpkg modules_image This created two files kernel-image-2.4.1_aaron.1_i386.deb and nvidia-kernel-2.4.1_0.9.6-2_i386.deb which I installed in succession using dpkg. After rebooting, everything was ready (and looked significantly better since I was using the entire 1280x1024 area of the screen.)
