Looks like you forgot to apply the patch! ;-) You need to have patch 104_geforce_6600gt_9100mg.patch applied at least.

A better way to backport packages is to download the code and use 'debuild -uc -us -i' to build debs. (You can use 'apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-nv' to install the build dependencies for it.)

An alternative approach is to download the package, use 'dch -i' to add an empty changelog entry and make sure the distro specified is 'jaunty' instead of 'karmic', and upload that to your ppa, and then download the debs when it's done building.

In either case, installing the debs takes care of updating the .ids file and installing the so, man page, etc. and ensures you can cleanly downgrade or upgrade if needed.
