I don't see it for 2.6.8 although there is an fb_riva_i2c, which is probably not what you need.I see fb_nvidia_i2c in my copy of 2.6.17.11 where it's labelled "new." That might make it too new even for etch.
If you want to upgrade the kernel, the latest is 2.6.19.1 from kernel.org. Judging from your knowledge level that might be challenging. although there are Debian packages to automate the kernel build process. I think the easiest way might be to locate and install the proprietary driver. (Ugh.)
