why dont you get the nvidia-graphics-driver 1.0-7676 source debs from
http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/
build all that, then go patch the kernel-source with the
minor (although important) updates from the nvidia linux
support forums and then build the kernel module.
im running 2.6.14-1 as we speak, using 1.0-7676 playing
games and all sorts.
i have had no problems building or loading.
you dont need 32 bit unless you want to run a 32 bit app.

You are sure you used the 64bit version? The 7676 source was only in

Right, indeed.
Just to be sure, I downloaded again, from the amd64 repository.
Rebuilt nvidia-kernel-source_1.0.7174-3_amd64.deb
Recomplied the module, reinstalled, and...
# modprobe nvidia
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia
(/lib/modules/2.6.14-vs2.1.0-rc5+g2/nvidia/nvidia.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
The relevant lines:
[ 9272.404373] nvidia: Unknown symbol register_ioctl32_conversion
[ 9272.404450] nvidia: Unknown symbol unregister_ioctl32_conversion
Conclusion:
- For version 1.0.7174, "modprobe" fails for kernel 2.6.14.
- (from my previous attempt with maybe incompatible 32bit "source") for
version 1.0.7676, "modprobe" loads the module, but it doesn't work (i.e.
the screen goes blank when starting the X server).
It seems that I'm stuck! :-/
