sure, i had there the right kernel-headers directory, but was not
enough.

nvidiainstaller was lookin at linux.

debian packaged nvidia driver gave the solution after i managed to
compile it wouldn't load becouse of gcc differences.
and the debian packaged nvidia driver was the only one who told that
kernel was built with gcc-3.3, so i had to apt-get it and compile
modules with it again, with that nvidia's works fine, so i didn't
compile again debian's.

it's resolved now,
anyways,
thanx for your attention. :)
