nvidia 1.0.8178 installing question



Hi,

I'm trying to install nvidia 1.0.8178 driver in this way:

apt-get update
NVDIST=unstable
apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-common
m-a prepare
m-a auto-install nvidia
apt-get -t $NVDIST install nvidia-glx
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

but when I arrive in:

m-a auto-install nvidia

it returns:

Target package file
/usr/src/nvidia-kernel-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8_1.0.7676-2+2.6.12-10_amd64.deb
already exists, not rebuilding!

(it's my old nvidia package built).

Why does it try to build '7676' package and not '8178'?
Using nvidia-driver for simple desktop-use (not 3d animation or other
special fx) is suitable or there're not great changes?

Thanks,
Giulio
