It seems that there are no pre-built modules for 1.0.9746. The source is
packaged in experimental, however:
$ apt-cache policy nvidia-kernel-source
nvidia-kernel-source:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.0.8776-4
Version table:
1.0.9746-2 0
1 http://ftp.debian.org experimental/non-free Packages
1.0.8776-4 0
500 http://ftp.es.debian.org testing/non-free Packages
500 http://ftp.es.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages
You can use module-assistant to build a .deb package for your kernel
from this source. This package will provide "nvidia-kernel-1.0.9746" and
therefore it will allow you to install the experimental nvidia-glx
package.
