Hi !
To get the newest NVidia-packages installed and built, you can follow these
steps:
1. delete all /usr/src/modules/nv*
2. delete /usr/src/nvidia-source*.tgz
3. delete all formerly built packages (i.e. nvidia-kernel-bla***.deb)
4. deinstall nvidia-source and reinstall the new nvidia-source
5. start module-assistant and choose nvidia-kernel and let it build and
install
6. apt-get update, apt-get upgrade let you now install the newest package
nvidia-glx
7. update all xserver-xorg* packages.
8. Have fun !
The latest version (167.07) is running stable !
Good luck !
