Upgrading Video Drivers

Just looking for some info on getting new video drivers - A little confused ... Do I upgrade the kernel, then use modconf to load new modules that contain the drivers, or can I install the drivers directly from a Debian package... The video card is only a MX440 Nvidia

Any info would be great... I really just need to be pointed in the right direction

Cheers Blake

If you are using debian, just install the nvidia package using apt.
