if u run

uname -r

have a look in /usr/src for a folder that matches the result of uname -r

if it's there, check tht there's a symlink called linux pointing to the result of uname -r, to check this, run

ls -l /usr/src/`uname -r`

note this is a flick not a quote (the character next to the number 1 on a UK keyboard.

if the sytmlink linux doesn't point to the right kernel source remove it and re-create is like this:

rm /usr/src/linux
ln -s /usr/src/`uname -r` linux

then try the nvidia drivers again

Debian doesn't work like that...

You have:
Woody = stable (but a little old)
Sarge = testing (still very stable, recommended for most users)
Sid = unstable (very up2date, less stable)

To update (I take you're not using any backports) :
*Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change all(don't mix them) from stable to sarge (testing)
*apt-get update
*close X
*apt-get dist-upgrade (do change most config files when asked)
*check if you have broken packages
*apt-get -f install

You now have Sarge(testing), upgrade it as well:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
