apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) gcc-4.4

Then download and give execution permissions to the NVIDIA binary driver — XServer must be down.

wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/275.28/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.28.run
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.28.run
./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-275.28.run

Now just start the X server, enjoy!

For 64 bits: Download the needed stuff, nvidia driver, the kernel headers, changing permissions and installing it

wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/260.19.36/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run

For 32 bits: Download the needed stuff, nvidia driver, the kernel headers, changing permissions and installing it

wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/260.19.36/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.36.run
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.36.run
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.36.run

And depending of what desktop manager do you use, you will start it (gdm, kdm, w/e)

/etc/init.d/kdm start or restart //(depends if it is running)
/etc/init.d/gdm start or restart //(depends if it is running)

If it doesn’t run, just run

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
