Hi,
Download nvidia driver from nvidia official page. Then install package
linux-headers for you kernel version and finally install the downloaded nvidia
driver.
Bye.-
Olaf.

Hello,
you may build the nvidia related Debian packages from source
if you do not use the distributed kernel.

I don't have that in the installation steps: m-a a-i == module-assistant auto-install, so you actually do. However, doing a m-a prepare, m-a clean might work for the OP. I did a m-a a-i for the 2.6.32 yesterday (on and amd64, so not exactly the same config), without any problem. So likely there's still some old junk in the way.

Re: problem installing nvidia-glx on a debian testing with 2.6.32 kernel
I guess you're in Squeeze or probably Lenny, right? Remove everything nvidia-related (source packages, modules built or installed, non-free binary drivers, etc.), activate sid in your sources.list, and then try again. Be sure to have the correct kernel headers available by doing m-a prepare for the proper kernel (which is now the same in both squeeze and sid). Then try installing from sid. I had the same problem as yours. The build process failed without any understandable errors but when I used the packages in sid it worked like a charm. First install headers for you kernel, then activate sid if not already activated, then go through downloading and building the module with module-assistant. Then install nvidia-glx (from sid) if it does not get installed during the process of module building and installing. The nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig packages can also be very useful.

Hi I have just recently built nvidia for 6.32 using m-a I would recommend always using m-a and not the nvidia installer - easier to maintain.

I am not sure if 173.14 builds against 2.6.32, 194.42 is the latest, try it. No. 173.14.09 doesn't build against 2.6.32, but 173.14.20 and 173.14.22 (unstable) do. 194.42 does not work with GeForce FX 5200. So you have to try the legacy-driver from unstable.
