Are you sure that these entries in sources.list gives access to
7676 driver? I have included it, but my impression is that there
is no effect. I tried again the recipes from
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html
and tried to verify nvidia version with "apt-cache policy ..."
but can't see nvidia version 7676.

I tried to follow this advice carefully, but after rebooting I
got the same error message as before.
Tomorrow I will make a complete reinstall with debian amd64 etch.
Maybe with this release it is easier to install nvidia driver. I
hope that kernel 2.6.12 (smp) of etch will work fine. (On my old
computer I was not happy with the i386-flavour of this kernel.
Printer at parallel port lp0 was not working, dhcp network
connection failed often.)
Best regards
