"Can I at least compile from upstream..." Hi Alex, Debian source package is here https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-470 You could try building the Debian package from source, but, the binaries in bookworm-backports & sid have already been patched to build the kernel module with the Trixie kernel.
This worked quite well for me on an HP 8570w EliteBook from ~2012 that is semi-retired now, but still a nice laptop..: - Add bookworm-backports to debian.source - apt update - apt upgrade - apt purge *nvidia-legacy-390* # I overlooked that these were present, and they're not fixed. The laptop hung for a while at boot, and Xorg.0.log showed an error for module nv (not found). I expect a bit of configuration can fix it, since the right module name seems to be "nvidia" now. Thanks for the pointer; I may try Nouveau later, but this was as quick and easy fix for now.
I'm running Testing as a rolling release, the 470 drivers are fine for me. Good luck, Peter
