I've just tried installing the nvidia drivers for pure64/sid the debian way and I'm getting nothing but trouble. When kdm starts to draw to the screen it goes **very** slowly and then locks up my system requiring the power button to be pressed. Of course if should be noted that I'm using a 2.6.12rc3 kernel as previous kernels rendered my system horribly slow.
