I have uploaded nvidia 340.24, which is the new long-lived driver-branch.

What does this mean for nvidia legacy driver (304): It isn't built yet or it won't ever be built?

In the latter case, what are my choices: Using the nouveau driver (which always was problematic with my card) or buy an old, used AGP/PCI card (must have a look which one it is in my ageing MB)?

Nvidia has not released an update yet, but they are planning to: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/754151/linux/304-121-with-xorg-1-16/post/4243802/#4243802

Solange das geht ist das natürlich ok. Und klar habe ich meine nvidia legacy pakete auf hold gesetzt. Aber wir wissen beide, dass SID voranschreitet und pakete auftauchen werden die auf basis der neueren ABI  kompiliert wurden.

michaa7: Das mit den abi-changes würde ich nicht überbewerten. Das ganze X-Öko-System ist in sich konsistent, da wird es keine Probleme geben - hoffe ich, war zumindest in den letzten Jahren so.
