Thank you Valerio, of course you're right ! It did not correctly add using NVIDIA-installer-programm to my note - it should have been pointed out to b) self-compiled kernel. As you mentioned in case of a) Debian has own packages in it's repository. By the way: My kernel 2.6.18.4 (running for a while of ~ 1,5 years) resulted of a previous Debian Sarge installtion with a lower kernel-version, so I had to compile a new kernel (to fit my hardware AND of course to learn more about kernel-compiling and adjustment )and therefore the Debian-way at that time was no option.
