[solved] nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

[harley-peter]

Hello,

does anybody knows something about a new release of this driver for xorg from Nvidia? Does Nvidia continue the support for this driver at all? Or can I /must I change to the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver? On the Nvidia Homepage there are no new information about this since the last release in September.

My Card:

Code: [Select]

Card: NVIDIA GT218 [GeForce 210] bus-ID: 01:00.0
           Display Server: X.Org 1.18.4 driver: nvidia Resolution: 1920x1080@60.00hz
           GLX Renderer: GeForce 210/PCIe/SSE2 GLX Version: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 340.98 Direct Rendering: Yes

Nvidia released it today: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/112998/en-us
Now you are waiting on Debian maintainer to upload it.

Or can I change to the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver?

I had a good experience with nouveau on an 8400GS. nouveau gave me the same level of OpenGL and VDPAU support. The 3D performance wasn't quite as fast, but it was still enough for light gaming.

The 101-1 is in unstable now. BUT for me it doesn't work. After d-u the module couldn't be loaded. Purging all packages with nvidia in name and "apt --no-install-recommends install nvidia-legacy-340xx-kernel-dkms nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver" gives me kernel-panic-like messages like "[ 1379.196779 ] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request an ffffc9000bdcfcb0" and I have no idea what's going wrong.

Also here no X after a du.

[Geier0815]

As you can see here, there is a new package which will reach unstable shortly: https://packages.qa.debian.org/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx/news/20161218T134919Z.html 101-1 seems to havo problems with drm in kernel 4.9. I'll try to deinstall 4.9 and install nvidia again. I'll let you know if this will solve the issue.

[Geier0815]

Ok, to patch the driver is a way too. My way with purging 4.9 and wait for 101-2 works also.

[Geier0815]

101-2 is out and works like a charm for me even with kernel 4.9.9-towo.1-siduction-amd64.

101-2 is out and works like a charm for me even with kernel 4.9.9-towo.1-siduction-amd64.

I confirm this with nvidia 340.101-2 with 4.9.0-towo.1-siduction-amd64.

Ups, my fault. It should be the same as yours in my post above
