Are you using the installer from nVidia's website? If so, you need to use the version from the apt repository. It's in the non-free testing repository.
I just did "apt-get install nvidia-*". I use a custom kernel, so I went to my kernel source directory and did a "make-kpkg modules_image", then installed the .deb file that it made in the /usr/src directory. This should install the correct modules to /lib/modules/<your-kernel-version>. Now, I had a problem where modprobe wouldn't find the nvidia module. So, make sure you're running the correct kernel, and do a "dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx" and this should fix the problem. I used this howto to solve my issues: http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/ Hope this helps.
