Hi,

I my case, I don't what to compile a new linux kernel. I just want to
build the nvidia-glx proprietary kernel module.

!! NOT ALREADY TESTED !!

So I have made a NVIDIA class detector :

#######
class/30-nvidia
#######
#! /bin bash
if lspci | grep 'VGA compatible controller.*NVIDIA'; then
   echo "NVIDIA"
fi

I added the corresponding packages using linux-headers virtual packages :

########
package_config/NVIDIA
########
PACKAGES aptitude-r I386
linux-headers-686-pae
nvidia-kernel-dkms

PACKAGES aptitude-r AMD64
linux-headers-amd64
nvidia-kernel-dkms

And the xorg config file :

#########
files/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia/NVIDIA
#########
Section "Device"
        Identifier "Nvidia GPU"
        Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
