Sorry to sort of butt in here, but I've been trying to get my nvidia drivers fixed for some time now and am stuck at a certain point.  Hoping you can point me in the same direction you took, since you recently got your setup working.

Steps I have taken thus far:
Following Adam Majer's instructions, which are roughly 
1) Get the latest nvidia-graphics-drivers package files from experimental 
2) dpkg-source -x nvidia-graphics-drivers_1.0.7667-3.dsc
    cd nvidia-graphics-drivers*
    fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
3) [This part I might have mucked up] -- Use the old instructions for building the custom nvidia-kernel module as per the AMD64 HOWTO available at [https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id272586]

But it's during this step #3, which Adam also recommended, applying [MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-3.4" make-kpkg --append-to-version -1-amd64-k8 modules_image (from within /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8] that I get the following error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8'
scripts/Makefile.build:13: scripts/basic/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/basic/Makefile'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8'
make: *** [stamp-kernel-configure] Error 2

Naturally, attempting to install the nvidia-glx, et al, packages fails because I need nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676.

Any help you or Adam Majer can provide is greatly appreciated.
