Nope, I've used nvidia-graphics-modules-i386 - the source package which
was used in lenny to build nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-*
linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 in lenny doesn't support nvidia drivers.

I've modified nvidia driver's version there to build kernel modules for
nvidia-driver 180.44

It works for 180.29, but not for 180.44
