Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but do you mind pointing me 
to a resource about installing the nvidia driver? So far I've tried the 
downloaded binary (cannot load nvidia.ko), then I also tried installing it 
the Debian way (getting some error about rivafb being included in the 
kernel), but no luck. Thanks a lot.

That part I got working OK.  You just need to make sure to download the
kernel headers and source.  Also, be sure to use gcc-3.4 when compiling.
Good luck!

Thank you. I didn't have gcc-3.4 installed, which turned out to be the 
reason for my failure to install the nvidia binary.
