Hmmm... I'm jumping in here and talking about something I know only about, so this may be entirely wrong, but I think I see a couple of errors in your sources list. First, (and this may have no bearing on your problem) but your only line for source code is:deb-src http://archive.progeny.com/debian testing main contrib non-freebut if when I fired up my browser to take a look I found that this no longer is a working site:It is with regret that we must decommission archive.progeny.com. Thisserver was permanenatly removed on Sunday, October 22nd at 22:00 EDT. (02:00 UTC on Monday, October 23rd). Progeny Linux Systems was happy toprovide this service while it could, and thanks n|Frame for their donation of bandwidth while they could. Questions concerning this can be directed toward the Progeny Mirrors mailing list.Second, I think you're supposed to be downloading source code, but the entries for people.debian.org begin with deb, not deb-src. There is no such package in the binary packages for amd64. This might all make more sense if you point your browser to http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia/ and have a look. HTH!
OK, changed sources.list to this: deb http://secure-testing.debian.net/debian-secure-testing testing/security-updates main contrib non-free deb http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/debian/ testing main contrib non-free # nvidia package maintainers modules Randall Donald deb-src http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-graphics-drivers deb-src http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-kernel-common deb-src http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-settings deb-src http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable nvidia-xconfig deb-src http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable modules And got this: andy:/etc/apt# apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers Reading package lists...
