Which kernel are you using?  You shouldn't need the whole source tree, just the
headers.  I found this howto for nvidia on Sarge:

http://tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/debian/debian-nvidia-dri-howto.txt

Don't know if that helps?  Its a little cryptic...

The main sarge repository has several 2.6.x kernels available:

apt-cache search kernel-image | grep 2.6

and the source package for each

apt-cache search kernel-source | grep 2.6

You can just apt-get the one you fancy.

Does that help at all?

:-S
