This is how I installed nVidia drivers on a fresh 9.04 Crunchbang install
(Step 1)
First grab the drivers from here
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_archive.html
put them in you /home/user folder and make the file executable!!
(Step 2)
Right Click, Terminal
Install these three applications to prepare for the driver installation
sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings binutils gcc
(Step 3)
press CTRL+ALT+F1 to take you into a non-X terminal thingy
(Step 4)
authenticate with your user account
sudo killall gdm
sudo killall openbox
sudo ./NVIDIA*
(Step 5)
Run through the installation wizard.
(Step 6)
Afterwards, reboot your GUI, enabling the drivers, by typing (thx alt-SysRq-boom!)
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
or just reboot..
