Xserver support can only be fixed by NVIDIA, and they declared this
legacy driver end-of-life several years ago.

Bug#900787: nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-304xx: does not support Xorg Xserver 1.20

2019-11-10 Thread Pierre Bernhardt
Package: xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-304xx
Version: 304.137-7
Followup-For: Bug #900787

Dear Maintainer,

I use a Dell Inspiron 9400 Laptop with a nvidia 7900 Go
graphics adapter which is not changegable to a newer
gpu card.
This 64 bit laptop is for the trash bin if I cannot
use it any more like with freecad which supports
also nouveau driver, but is not really working with
all needed hw acceleration.
So also freecad as an example is not really usuable
with nouveau on this laptop and other accelerations
looks like not further usuable like video decoding via
gpu.

Please add support for the legacy driver for my
card (which is still only available by 304xx).
It looks like the installation could be only
possible by using stretch and not buster?
And what is if the support for stretch ends?
So downgrade to stretch is also not the optimal
option.
Is it not really possible to use xserver version
1.20 for this driver or must I downgrade xserver
to 1.19?

Save the world from electronic trash by eol
supported software.

Cheers,

PS: I installed only the 304xx from unstable.
All the rest is still from stable.

To provide support for newer kernels from stretch-backports. Since the
package is not in testing, it no longer qualifies for stretch-backports
itself.

But I'm not planning doing any further updates, e.g. for Linux 5.0

Out of interest, why is this kept in sid? Unstable also has 1.20 since
May of last year.

The 304.xx legacy series is EoL upstream and won't be updated for the
latest Xorg.

Let's get it out of buster ... but keep it in sid for now.
