Bug#833895: nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver: blank screen after upgrade
Dear Luca, As your comments hinted at a misconfiguration and it had been a very long time since I had used that machine, I ran a live jessie debian distribution and the X-windows system worked with the nvidia driver, but only in the failsafe mode. I decided then to make a fresh install of jessie and later upgraded to stretch. I haven't installed nvidia yet, but nouveau hadn't worked and it is working properly now, so the crisis of my T61 is over. I still don't know if nvidia-legacy would work now in my machine. I'll try it later. Thanks.

Bug#833895: nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver: blank screen after upgrade
Package: nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver Version: 340.96-9 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, I upgraded my system today. I received a warning that the nvidia driver wouldn't work anymore with my old card and that I should install the legacy-340xx package. After installation I chose the legacy package with the updage-glx program. During installation I had some problems as I hadn't installed the appropriatte linux-headers package installed, but after I did, reinstalled the driver and booted the system I finally got to see the green NVIDIA logo flash momentarily in my screen. But then, I get a blank screen and my laptop becomes unresponsive to its keyboard. The system is running though, and I looged into it with ssh to write this message.
