To show how this might work in Debian I have ported the Ubuntu packages.
If you are interested in these experimental(!) packages, please check
http://darkharri.de/nvidia-current/
This is Nvidia's driver version #195.36.15. It is still beta. Use at
your own risk.
Currently nvidia-current requires to register an extra module directory
in your xorg.conf:
:
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
:
The sequence is important. Ubuntu's Xserver has been patched to search
this extra directory by default.
Have fun
