Thanks for the reply. (Just for reference I just found http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html BUT: In all places I found (including http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia/...) there seems to be only version 7174 for AMD64 AND then I always get complains from the debian/rules scripts that essentially say that they only work with the kernel-headers packages but not with linux-headers ... What needs to be fixed to get "anything" of nvidia to work with lthe inux-headers package ?
