Re: MX 17 Repository: The Backported Debian Kernel Thread
Posted: Fri Aug 09, 2019 3:56 pm
We now have the new 5.2.6 (5.2.0-1) Debian kernel backported from Sid in the MX 17/18 and 19 test repos.
We have a patched 418.74-2~mx(17/19)+1 Nvidia driver in the test repos that builds with it, but you should update to that first on an older kernel and make sure it works there before adding a new kernel. I'm also sending up a new nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver 390.129 that builds with the 5.2 kernel if your device is too old for the 418 driver. Currently the 340xx legacy driver has no update and has not been tested yet with the 5.2 kernel.
Update: Debian now has a 5.2.7 kernel upstream, so I'm working on that.
