1) attempting to get the debian backports driver I get
Code: Select all
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nvidia-settings : Depends: libxnvctrl0 (= 470.94-1~bpo11+1) but 510.47.03-1~mx21+1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
If I try to back down to libxnvctrl0 (= 470.94-1~bpo11+1) other packages need to get removed so I'll move onto trying with ahs enabled.

IIRC the only thing besides nvidia drivers that relies on libxnvctrl0 is conky for some reason. I've downgraded that thing in the past before.

well, at least I don't need glasses to read screen text.
Which kernel should I back down to now to dump nvidia-510.47.03 and try the 470 set?

If you card is Kepler based you can’t go up you got to go down. 470 is going to be the top.
The link I provided is how we did this for another Kepler user.

What I meant is which kernel should I also back down to?
I'm on the 5.17.0-2.3-liquorix-amd64 now. Shouldn't I first back down to 5.10, 5.13 or 5.14 1st or should I be good to go on the liguorix-5.17?

I would use the 5.10 for now with either the backports 470 or the debian standard 460.

nvidia-tesla-460-driver-460.91.03-1 didn't install correctly as nouveau was still the driver after a restart.. I'll try the 470 before switching/upgrading the kernel.

what's the trick to get a force install of a specific driver?
ie;
Code: Select all
sudo ddm-mx -i -f nvidia-tesla-450-driver
