I followed several howto's (even from the people that wrote it worked, e.g. Stefan Salewski's "NVidia driver successfully installed!" and his link http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html) but I cannot apt-get the nvidia-kernel-source from any of the mentioned repositories.

I got the sources for the latest nvidia-graphics-drivers 1.0.8174 from:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/
They compile on my amd64 and work OK with the latest kernel.
