This is probably your problem. I had no issue with installing the
nvidia drivers on my box other than the fact that is was a long winded
process, and getting the glx module to work correctly was a pain.
I got kernel-source 2.4.1-3, configured it to my needs, and built the
kernel and then the modules with:
# make-kpkg kernel_image
# make-kpkg modules_image
This created two files kernel-image-2.4.1_aaron.1_i386.deb and
nvidia-kernel-2.4.1_0.9.6-2_i386.deb which I installed in succession
using dpkg. After rebooting, everything was ready (and looked
significantly better since I was using the entire 1280x1024 area of
the screen.)
