videocard is nvidia 7900 go but nvidia does only have drivers for
windows.

I run nvidia graphics drivers on my AMD64 3200+, in both 64 bit and 32
bit sid, so they definitely work.

Here's what I do.

~apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-source
~m-a prepare (sudo or root)
~m-a a-i nvidia (sudo or root)
~dpkg -i /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-moduleXXXXX.deb (sudo or root)
~apt-get install nvidia-glx (sudo or root)

Restart X.

It works for me... every time :)
