... Should I be setting "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" somewhere?

If you want nvidia-470 to function with kernel 6.12, then "Yes".

Do it in /etc/default/grub, line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet <ect bla bla bla ect> nvidia-drm.modeset=1” and nvidia-470 driver will work with 6.12.x kernels ... but don't forget to issue "update-grub" afterwards ;-) .

Note: drm = Digital Rights Management, unclear to me what the computer-RL implications are?!

Ok, you can't code, but you still might be able to write a bug report for Debian's sake

No, drm is direct rendering manager, it has nothing to do with  Digital Rights Managemen!

And thank you both for getting this back to working for me! It now boots directly into SDDM. For some reason, it also shows a virtual keyboard on the log in page, but that's minor.

There is a button to open the Virtual Keyboard and that's normal. If you have a tablet or touch screen you can tap it to open the Virtual Keyboard to type in your username/password to login.

Yes, this seems to be a new "feature" for laptops and notebooks. I don't see it on the desktops.

It's on the desktop (as in computer type) for me as well as the laptop. It goes away by clicking the keyboard key presented, but seems to just come back next time. Minor.

I don't have this problem, so I can't evaluate whether or not this provides a solution:

open /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf as root with an editor, add

Code: [Select]
InputMethod=
in the [General] section of that file and save it.

open /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf [...]
Danke für den Hinweis.

XFCE
gleiches Symptom "virtuelle Tastatur", ähnliche Lösung.

Code: [Select]
mv /etc/sddm.conf /etc/sddm.conf.old
cp -a /etc/sddm.conf.dpkg-new /etc/sddm.conf

und die Tastatur erscheint nicht mehr.
Die Datei enthält bereits den Schlüssel
Code: [Select]
# Input method module
InputMethod=

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

open /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf [...]
Thanks for the hint.

XFCE
same symptom “virtual keyboard”, similar solution.

Code: [Select]
mv /etc/sddm.conf /etc/sddm.conf.old
cp -a /etc/sddm.conf.dpkg-new /etc/sddm.conf

and the keyboard no longer appears.
The file already contains the key
Code: [Select]
# Input method module
InputMethod=
"pax in terra" - Das ist mein großer, mein einzigster, von Herzen kommender Wunsch.
"Frieden auf der Erde" und alles Weitere erscheint einfach.
