It worked! I had previously installed the nVidia driver using nVidia's installer. I used the same installer to uninstall (using the --uninstall argument) the module. Then I used the instructions [1] linked from the above page to compile and install it the Debian way. Note that I had to uninstall the previous module first, or it didn't work.
