whoa Deja Vu all over again!I had this same exact problemwhile trying to 
upgrade my Nvidia TNT2 drivers. After I installed the kernel headers 
package I had to run  from inside /home/lameth/nvidia_kernel-.0-3123;
make SYSINCLUDE=/usr/src/kernel-header-2.4.18-bf2.4/include/linux
all the files were copied to their proper places . After that I ran the 
command dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86. Heres the important part make 
sure that dri and GLcore are not selected. And when it asks say no to 
the question "Do you want the dri section created for you."

Becareful this is what I did for my card your's may be slightly different.
