Re: nvidia-glx not updating
looks like kernel module built is an older version check your mirror sources, um, what else, maybe flush out your apt cache. try apt-get source nvidia-graphics-drivers see what version it downloads.

At present, module-assistant is failing to build current nvidia-kernel-source. It claims it cannot find the source tarball. You may need to build it by hand. To do so, unpack /usr/src/nvidia-kernel.tar.bz2 somewhere, cd into the directory and run: fakeroot debian/rules binary-modules KVERS=`uname -r` KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` This should produce a working package.
