I wound up trying: apt remove nvidia* and I still have graphics, and the system is running much cooler. No freezes with fvwm, though gnome is still buggy for me, and I have trouble with it coming back to life after the screen blanks. I know your system has different graphics than mine.

system freeze older iMac Debian 11
Hi Older iMac, recently installed Debian 11. Having system freezes even when running light weight environment like fvwm. Starts with slow video, progresses over a few minutes to complete freeze. Can't even shift to a different console with ctrl-F_. Nothing in top (when it starts) to suggest excessive memory or cpu usage. Tried to install nvidia drivers, but apparently not available for my GPU in Debian 11. Output from lscpu and nvdia-detect in attached file. I would be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks Bob Crochelt Detected NVIDIA GPUs: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G92M [GeForce 8800M GTS] [10de:0609] (rev a2) Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation G92M [GeForce 8800M GTS] (rev a2) Your card is only supported by the 340 legacy drivers series, which is only available up to buster.
