 An extensive description is given in the [[http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers|Debian Wiki]], especially the section about [[http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Use_DKMS|DKMS]] is important. Here I'll just summarize the steps for your (and my) convenience that are specific for Debian Squeeze (and the latest Nvidia cards).

 === Installing the driver ===
   - Download the latest driver [[http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html|from Nvidia]], afterwards make it executable.
-  - Install your Kernel headers and some build tools. On Debian (Etch or later) run this: <code>apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential</code>

   - Invoke the Nvidia Installer. I, personally, prefer a few options as well (see [[#Explanations_of_the_used_options|below]] for an explanation): <code>./NVIDIA-Linux-<version>.run -a -n -s --dkms</code>
   - Edit your X-configuration file (usually ''/etc/X11/[[xorg.conf]]''), I don't trust the script to do that accurately. See [[#X_configuration|below]] for the steps.
