You will need to download the nvidia driver from nvidia.com. The amd64
version isn't packaged yet afaik.

In order to make a successfull installation you will need the
linux-header for your kernel.

Install the binary with the nvidia installer.

Add nvidia to /etc/modules to be sure the kernel driver is loaded at
each reboot and dpkg-reconfigure xfree86 and select nvidia instead of nv.

this should be enough to make it working.
