my:
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib

should be added of <non-free>?
As it is, it does not find nvidia, of course. Once modified as said, shoud the 
sources.list be left as modified or it is safer to delete <non-free>? Whath 
believed is that <non-free> does not exist for source packages.
