My old nvidea doesn't work in 19.1 so I assume it is using the default but I am getting screen tear and lockup when attempting to use several different apps. The most recent was conky manager. When it does the screen tear it locks up and requires a reboot. Will the suggestion by Rose fix that?. Thanks

As your question is off topic, having nothing to do with last year's kernel update for Debian Stretch. kindly start your own new topic rather than necroposting. Thanks.

(BTW a search of the user manual, wiki and forum for "tearing" will probably give you a solution without your having to ask for it n the forum.)

Mod Comment: Post moved to new topic...see above...Thanks for flagging this, JayM

It may be that the card requires the 304xx legacy driver, which indeed does not work with Buster's xorg in MX 19, but what did the MX Nvidia Installer say?

Copy and paste:

Code: Select all

nvidia-detect

in a terminal and run it by pressing enter, then in your reply click the </> button and copy paste the output between the code][/code.
