First, run aptitude and do an update. Install any security updates. If you're running Etch, you don't need the sources. You need the glx that you have and you have to ensure that the kernel modules it brings in are the same number as your installed kernel. Then you need to read all the documentation in /usr/share/doc/nvidia* and all the man pages available with $apropos nvidia Also, I highly recommend that you ensure that X is working with the nv driver before you fiddle with the nvidia driver. Finally, do not use nvidia's own installer since it overwrites existing debian files on your system and will eventually make a hash of it.
