You should be able to do this (without needing to compile a custom
kernel):
apt-get install nvidia-glx-src
apt-get install nvidia-kernel-src
apt-get install kernel-source-xxx (make sure you match your running
kernel version)
apt-get install kernel-package
cd /usr/src
tar zxf nvidia-kernel-src.tar.gz
tar jxf kernel-source-xxx.tar.bz2
cd /usr/src/nvidia-glx-xxx
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
cd /usr/src/kernel-source-xxx
make-kpkg modules-image
This creates 3 .debs in /usr/src, one for the nvidia kernel module, and
two one for nvidia glx. You will need to do something like:
dpkg -i /usr/src/nvidia-glx_xxx.deb /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-xxx.deb
