Got it working. If anyone needs the modified kernel-source package for 64 bit sys, I can email it you. (It's pretty easy though. Just follow the directions in the bug report but take care to note the path changes. I just use dpkg-repack to rebuild the deb.)

Did you get it working with nvidia-kernel source or the legacy source? I had no luck with nvidia-kernel source. It keeps asking for the file to patch.
/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel# patch -p3 -s </home/glenn/Downloads/NVIDIA_kernel-169.12-2286310.diff.txt
The text leading up to this was:

probably, it could be condensed to

Ok, so I didn't really patch the drivers although I guess ops solution would work (haven't tried it).
I'm running a custom kernel and since the nvidia-kernel-source wouldn't compile against 2.6.25 without patching I downloaded the beta drivers for nvidia which had this fixed.
Non-working. :O
Anyone knows how to export DEBIAN/control etc from a deb?
2.6.25 kernel is now in Sid, but the nvidia-kernel-source is still 169.12
Looking at Nvidia's pages, it appears that there have been a couple betas since 169.12. Do any of you know what kernel-source version I should wait for to avoid this patching exercise.
Carefully read any release note type information provided on the nvnews forum for these beta series drivers.
I recall seeing there with the initial beta that 3D glx hadn't been implemented yet for at least the late model cards these beta series drivers add support for and possibly (I was unclear when reading it) just installing them on the 2.6.25 Kernel.
I think the work around in the sticky below the beta driver sticky over there may be the better way to go, still using the 169.12 driver which fully implements glx.
There have been threads started over there from folks complaining of the beta driver only offering 2D.
Yeah, I sure hope NVidia is busy trying to get us an official release for both the new Kernels and new cards. Not sure how fast we'll be getting 2.6.25 in Lenny but I'd hate to see us unable to get our 3D going. And I sure understand Sid users wanting this solved fast.
Edit -
I was just over there and saw that the lack of GLX is only on the experimental support for xserver-xorg-1.5. Since no version of that is in Debian yet, that's one problem we don't need to worry about.
The beta's do support 3D via GLX. Just not on the sometime in the future 1.5 xorg.
