nvidia-kernel-169.07 SHOULD be provided by your
nvidia-kernel-2.6.22-3-amd64 169.07-2+2.6.22-6 package above.

This on the other hand needs updating. You need version 1.4 not version
1.3 of the xserver-xorg-core to use the nvidia-glx driver from version
169.07

nvidia-glx is the driver for X that talks to the kernel module. The
kernel module is useless without the matching driver.
