Hi

I remember in some earlier posts, there was an unoffical repository that
has precompiled nvidia deb which match the linux-image debs.

I can't seem to find it via google.  Can somebody repost please 
   
        

You might mean my repository at http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/ but I
haven't updated it a while. 

 
      

Thanks
   
        

I got my nvidia drivers from the non-free repository. Here's my 
/etc/apt/sources.list:

Hi

already go those. I should i kno how to build the modules against the
kernel, I just thought I had seen somebody put a location to a
respository that had them prebuilt
  

Ok, then you are almost there  :-) Here's how I did it:

1 # aptitude install nvidia-kernel-source
2 Read the Readme in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source
3 # aptitude install module-assistant
4 # module-assistant auto-install nvidia
