Yes, it is. Install the gcc-4.1 package if it is not on your system
already. Then run
export CC=gcc-4.1
right before you try the installer again. That should allow it to
compile the module and insert it into the kernel. If there are other
difficulties post the new error messages. I think you might still be
missing the linux-headers-* package for your new kernel.
If the installer finishes without errors and nevertheless your X will
not start then we need to see the output of
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
