I believe the installation instructions are in /usr/share/doc/
nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian (shows you how to build & install the
kernel module), /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.Debian(short instructions on
configuring X to use the nvidia driver with OpenGL (Linux doesn't use
DirectDraw - that's a Windows thing, but has equivalents such as DGA, which
will work when you have the driver working)) and /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/
README.gz (NVidia's extensive, but not Debian-specific docs with lots of
troubleshooting tips.)
