OK here is a complete patch against the current 180.29 package in sid.

This works with i386 and amd64.

It works with module-assistant.

It works with linux-modules-nonfree-2.6.

It works with 2.6.26 and 2.6.29 (-2 which has the Makefile_32.cpu fix).

It does not involve moving everything to an nv directory.

What do you think?

So far I have built these packages using it:

linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 with nvidia-kernel added to the defines and the control files regenerated:

They seem to work for me.
