How to fix nvidia-current not found after modprobe?

I'm using Debian 10 (Buster) with a NVidia GT630 graphics card on a i386 system. apt install nvidia-driver installed nvidia-legacy-390xx drivers. Unfortunately the kernel module doesn't load (output of /var/log/Xorg.log):

[   100.857] (II) LoadModule: "nvidia"
[   100.858] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia
[   100.858] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
[   100.858] (EE) No drivers available.

/lib/modules/4.19.0-12-686-pae/updates/dkms contains three nvidia-legacy-390xx*.ko files.

dkms status claims that the nvidia module is installed. modprobe nvidia wants to load nvidia-current, which fails (see log below). Not sure if this shouldn't read nvidia-legacy?

Any help would be much appreciated.
