nvidia-glx-legacy is the GLX side of things. That works fine, it's the kernel 
modules that I have to build each time. I've managed to distil it down to a 
script, which means I don't have to look up how to do it each time. (this 
script presumes you have have the package nvidia-legacy-kernel-source 
installed already, I should probably make it check that and install it if 
needed):

#/bin/bash
KERN=`uname -r`
aptitude install linux-headers-${KERN}
export KSRC=/usr/src/linux-headers-${KERN}
export KVERS=${KERN}
cd /usr/src
tar xvzf nvidia-legacy-kernel-source.tar.gz
cd modules/nvidia-legacy-kernel
debian/rules binary_modules
cd ..
dpkg -i nvidia-kernel-${KERN}_*.deb
depmod -a
modprobe nvidia
/etc/init.d/gdm stop
/etc/init.d/gdm start
