Hi Craig,
try to change the sources.list to the i386-path. Apt recognizes your
architecture.
Then do an apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade (might be huge !)
After this, you will have xorg7.0. Due to this, you will have to build a new
kernel module (nvidia-kernel). Install this and reinstall nvidia-glx.
That should it be. Please remember: The path for the driver is not /usr/X11R6
any more, but /usr/lib/xorg/....
Best regards
Hans
