I don't know if you knew this already, but I had to apply some patches
to 1.0-8178 found in the NVIDIA forums in order to get everything
working properly for 2.6.14+.

I'm running Sarge AMD64 with kernel 2.6.16 and the 8178 driver release.

Len,
Thanks for the reply. Could you be little more verbose on what
dpkg-source -x nvidia*dsc
means !? Where do I get the nvidia*dsc file(s) ? Does
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -b
automatically try to get all the build-dependencies ?
Well there is:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers/
It should have a tar file, a diff and a dsc.
7174-3 is sarge's version. I know that one will build on sarge amd64.
not sure if it works with 2.6.15, although I thought it did when I tried
it on i386 at least. 8178-2 or -3 might require a dpkg/debhelper/other
stuff upgrade to compile/use at all.
Heck, even apt-get source nvidia-source ought to grab it for you, if
pointed at the official debian sources location.
