It turns out that it's actually quite easy to install Debian-packaged versions of the latest drivers straight from upstream: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads https://old.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1jyzgrx/the_correct_way_to_install_newer_nvidia_drivers/ For Debian unstable on amd64, all I had to do was basically: $ wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/debian13/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb # dpkg -i /path/to/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb # this installs a keyring and adds a repository # apt update && apt upgrade and voila - 595.71.05 built fine against 7.0.7+deb14-amd64. I rebooted, and now I'm successfully running 595.71.05 (I haven't yet tested extensively). -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers oldstable-security APT policy: (500, 'oldstable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 7.0.7+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages nvidia-kernel-dkms depends on: ii dkms 3.4.0-1 ii firmware-nvidia-gsp [firmware-nvidia-gsp] 595.71.05-1 ii nvidia-kernel-support 595.71.05-1 Versions of packages nvidia-kernel-dkms recommends: ii nvidia-driver 595.71.05-1 nvidia-kernel-dkms suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed
