I run nvidia graphics drivers on my AMD64 3200+, in both 64 bit and 32
bit sid, so they definitely work.
Here's what I do.
~apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-source
~m-a prepare (sudo or root)
~m-a a-i nvidia (sudo or root)
~dpkg -i /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-moduleXXXXX.deb (sudo or root)
~apt-get install nvidia-glx (sudo or root)
Restart X.
You may need the -legacy source and glx packages for older hardware.

NB I use a custom compiled Kernel, but it shouldn't make any difference.

I guess this line is relevant:
/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/nv.c:1: error: code model `kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode
what do you think?
I am runing x86_64. Must there be a nvidia-kernel-source for x86_64?
If I fix the nvidia driver for one of these two 64bit kernels, when
I boot the 2.6.8-2-k7 back again, will it fail loading the driver?
