Hi,
Coming back from holidays, I did a pretty huge upgrade of my Bookworm
system on my aging desktop (2009).
After a reboot, what I could see is best described via this snapshot :

What I tried so far :
- replacing my nouveau driver by a proprietary one, but :
$ nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G96C
[GeForce 9400 GT] [10de:0641] (rev a1)
Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation G96C [GeForce 9400 GT] (rev a1)
Your card is only supported by the 340 legacy drivers series, which is
only available up to buster.
- installed the last kernel for testing :
$ dpkg -l linux-image-* | grep ^ii
ii linux-image-5.18.0-4-amd64 5.18.16-1 amd64 Linux 5.18
for 64-bit PCs (signed)
ii linux-image-5.7.0-2-amd64 5.7.10-1 amd64 Linux 5.7 for
64-bit PCs (signed)
ii linux-image-5.7.0-3-amd64 5.7.17-1 amd64 Linux 5.7 for
64-bit PCs (signed)
ii linux-image-amd64 5.18.16-1 amd64 Linux for
64-bit PCs (meta-package)
... no change.
- reconfigured window display management between lightdm/sddm/gdm3 :
Curiously, only sddm showed no sign of being affected, until I opened a
graphic environment (LXDE, XFCE4, Gnome-Xorg/wayland,
Plasma-Xorg/wayland) where the problem was always back.
- I looked into /var/log/apt/term.log resulting from my last upgrade and
tried to find something relevant and I saw this :
cat /var/log/apt/term.log | grep xserver
Préparation du dépaquetage de .../38-xserver-common_2%3a21.1.4-1_all.deb ...

I don't know what to do or where to look, my system is barely usable now
and freezes regularly ...
Any help would be warmly appreciated
