You can read my instructions at http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/nvidia-
2.6-Debian/index.html. They're for kernel 2.6, but if you're running
2.4 you could probably adapt them just by doing everything except
applying the two patches. In fact, if you try that and it works, please
let me know, and I'll add a note to the page about it.
