 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).
-Just install some necessary tools: <code>apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` nvidia-kernel-dkms</code>

 That's it already, you can now continue with the [[#X_configuration|configuration of X]]!

 === 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 dkms</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.

   - Install gcc-4.1: <code>apt-get install gcc-4.1</code>
   - Use at least version 177.76 of the driver. Beta-drivers can be found on [[http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14|the Nvidia forums]]

 To check which compiler version was used to compile your kernel you can use the command ''cat /proc/version'' (look for the part named "gcc version").
