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.

I tried that but module-assistant couldn't find the nvidia-kernel-source in any
online repository for etch - apt doesn't like the source at
http.us.debian.org/debian nor people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia
Could you give me the sources.list entry for the source where you got it?
Did you include the "non-free" at the end? Anyway, here is the mirror I
used:
deb ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/debian etch main contrib non-free
I keep getting these sort of msgs which looks like the entries are bad:
