Package: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx Version: 304.137-7 Followup-For: Bug #900787
Dear Maintainer, I use a Dell Inspiron 9400 Laptop with a nvidia 7900 Go graphics adapter which is not changegable to a newer gpu card. This 64 bit laptop is for the trash bin if I cannot use it any more like with freecad which supports also nouveau driver, but is not really working with all needed hw acceleration. So also freecad as an example is not really usuable with nouveau on this laptop and other accelerations looks like not further usuable like video decoding via gpu. Please add support for the legacy driver for my card (which is still only available by 304xx). It looks like the installation could be only possible by using stretch and not buster? And what is if the support for stretch ends? So downgrade to stretch is also not the optimal option. Is it not really possible to use xserver version 1.20 for this driver or must I downgrade xserver to 1.19? Save the world from electronic trash by eol supported software. Cheers, PS: I installed only the 304xx from unstable. All the rest is still from stable. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx depends on: ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libnvidia-legacy-304xx-glcore 304.137-7 ii nvidia-installer-cleanup 20151021+9 ii nvidia-legacy-304xx-alternative 304.137-7 ii nvidia-support 20151021+9 pn xorg-video-abi-23 | xorg-video-abi-20 | xorg-video-abi-19 | xor <none> ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.20.4-1 ii xserver-xorg-legacy 2:1.20.4-1 Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx recommends: pn nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver <none> ii nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-dkms [nvidia-legacy-304xx-kernel-304. 304.137-7 ii nvidia-legacy-304xx-vdpau-driver 304.137-7 ii nvidia-settings-legacy-304xx 304.137-2
