Because NVIDIA's installer doesn't work on our 64bit system. Some of the
directory locations are different, and their installer gets confused. Use
the nvidia-* debian packages instead. Install them with apt, and build your
NVIDIA module with module-assistant (or kernel-package if you ever decide to
start building your own kernels - it can build your external modules when it
builds the kernel).
