But, like I have done this previously, there are Debian packages that work PERFECTLY, without a driver and it involves Debian-related packages.
But because I am brain-damaged I cannot remember what packages I have previously installed.

Yeah... that stroke is a {bad-word}!

Have yourself a great day!

PS: the nouveau driver is active... I think by default it is always active.

back in the day I remember using old 7.04 to do something like that , but 8.10 was more stable...

mrmazda:

I did EXACTLY what you had written. The results were slightly different, and as a few reboots...
It still doesn't work.

{sigh}

I will keep working on this, though.

Have yourself a wonderful day!

By not showing us your input/output from running inxi, you're potentially holding back information that could help us help you. I see nothing in this thread that tells us which NVidia GPU you have, or how it's connected to what kind of display(s).
