Por las dudas aclaro que la instalación del driver privativo de Nvidia
fue sin problemas -siguiendo las indicaciones de la wiki de Debian-, y
que el rendimiento del mismo fue inferior al de nouveau incluso
habiendo utilizado las configuraciones de 'increased performance' que
indican en [1]. Las que no llegué a probar son las que figuran en [2].

Saludos y gracias.

Error desinstalando xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx bloquea apt-get/dpkg

Tengo en una máquina una GPU de Nvidia (fuck you...) vieja, una
GeForce 7025, que con el driver nouveau tiene un buen rendimiento pero
se congela (todo el sistema) de manera aleatoria.
Por esto, seguí las instrucciones de la wiki de Debian para primero
instalar el driver privativo de Nvidia, descubrir que su rendimiento
era espantoso..., y luego desinstalarlo para volver a nouveau, como
indican en [1], y me encuentro con un fallo al hacer '# apt-get purge
nvidia.', que al repetir el paso me muestra lo siguiente:

I just updated, rebooted. See no change. Window decorations still missing,
both in openGL and Xrender.


Yes, Plasma defaults to OpenGL 2.0 and it's not good that it's not 
working, you have to use XRender, but compositing is working.  Once you 
switch to XRender you need to logout/login to see the change.

I used to use the nomodeset. I also tested for it and brute-force switched 
between Nouveau and Nvidia legacy based on it. I have not had nomodeset since 
that "trick" (copying one or other Xorg.conf) became deprecated and I did a 
new 64-bit install.

With no appends on kernel command line, Xorg works with either driver until I 
try to use KDE, Kwin, compositing. Then Nouveau will hang up, Nvidia legacy 
304 will have missing window decorations.

ro has no remaining effect long before starting Xorg or sddm are attempted. From 
the man page:


ro  [KNL] Mount root device read-only on boot


The ATI is basically working with the 4.8.0-2 kernel and with the 4.9
kernel if I assist it by pressing key's on the keyboard or it dies and
it's just using "ro".


Is Plymouth both required and installed on your systems? If installed and not 
required for your configuration, try disabling it, or removing it entirely.



The Nvidia has to use "ro nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0" and is working
swell with the 4.8.0-2 kernel but dies with the 4.9 kernel.


It seems as though you are equating the FOSS Xorg driver named modesetting with 
kernel modesetting (KMS). They are not the same thing.


The proprietary NVidia Xorg driver, unless something has changed lately that I'm 
unaware of, requires that KMS be disabled (exclusively via kernel cmdline???, 
such as nomodeset or *.modeset=0) in order for it to function. AFIAK, as I've 
never tried using it, AMD's proprietary drivers require the same.


Disabling KMS via kernel cmdline disables these FOSS Xorg drivers:

Intel
AMD/ATI/Radeon
Nouveau

If you have a new enough (but not bleeding edge) "big 3" gfxchip, and have 
neither the NVidia nor AMD proprietary drivers or any of their remnants 
installed, nor any of the "big 3" FOSS Xorg video drivers installed, then the 
modesetting Xorg driver should be employed automatically, and probably 
sucessfully, at least for some definition of successful that does not include 
high performance gaming.

Did you miss that the _preferred_ FOSS video driver in Sid, modesetting,

You could try libgl1-mesa-dri from unstable, but don't hold your
breath.  Improving support for these old cards is not a high priority

Is this being kicked off Debian?

Dist-upgrade will remove it for a while now, lists it as installed but not

Problems with kde plasma with both 304xx (works partially) and nouveau 
(hangs). What would I do now?
(I would prefer nouveau because it is "ours" but needs to work :-) )
