 Wiki page is a bit old. NVIDIA
 drivers requires binary kernel module.
 
 You have two options to install this module:
 
 1. Upgrade your kernel to backported version and use
 precompiled
 NVIDIA binary kernel module:
 
 To do this first install new kernel with:
 
   apt-get install -t wheezy-backports
 linux-image-$(dpkg --print-architecture)
 
 Reboot your machine with new kernel and install
 nvidia-driver with:
 
   apt-get install -t wheezy-backports nvidia-driver
 nvidia-kernel-$(uname -r)
 
 
 
 2. You can compile binary kernel module
 
 If you don't want to upgrade your kernel to backported
 version you need
 to compile nvidia-kernel driver for your current kernel. You
 need linux-headers
 for this:
 
 Install linux-headers with:
 
   apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
 
 And install nvidia drivers with:
 
   apt-get install -t wheezy-backports nvidia-driver
 nvidia-kernel-dkms

There is a third option.

3. Use the sgfxi script.  You can get it here:
