Give it a try to nouveau driver, here it works very well with kernel 6.1.55 the only drawback I have is to restart the windows compositor when I suspend to RAM, good luck Cheers -- Franco Martelli

It's mostly OK but I recently had to reboot as the Xorg process had taken around 70% of my 32G Ram. This may be a driver problem? I have other issues with applications including firefox-esr and chrome taking lots of memory - though this is unlikely to be related to the video driver.

Re: Nvidia driver on Debian 10
> dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-kernel-dkms > Hi all, I am using a NVidia card, which is using the Tesla-driver version (525.147.XX) and used the 470.XXX version before. Both could not be installed by using the above package. But it got installed using package module-assistant. Suggestion, how to fix: First of, move any /usr/bin/gdm|kdm|xdm somewhere else, so the graphical login manager will not start. Secondly, install package "module-assistant". Third: Run it, command is "m-a", its starts an ncurses surface. Fourth: go through all the processes: "update" , then "prepare" (which will download all needed apps and files like compiler, kernel-headers and so on), then go to "select". Chose your needed driver version. Then again, chose "get", which is downloading the NVidia-packages. Then chose "build" and it will automatiucally create a debian package, which then will be installed with the option "install". After it exit it. Now: First aof all reboot! If rebooted, check now with the command "startx" as root, if X is starting. If yes, mode /usr/bin/ xdm|kdm|sddm|gdm back. Reboot now again, Voila! Hints: If it is NOT starting, check if the nouveau driver is still loaded. If yes, try to reboot, if it will be loaded again, try to blacklist it. If blacklisting is NOT workin, do the hard way , an delete or remove the nouveau.ko from the kernel tree. If X is still NOT starting, check xorg.logs to look for reasons. Second hint: IIn the past, I got problems with wrong versions. Nvidia said, I should use i.e. 390xx, but in real, I had to use 340xx. So try also one version prior. Hope this helps! Godd luck and best regards Hans

Although I'm not sure that makes much sense if Thomas gets just a blank screen when booting the kernel without the nvidia drivers. Also I think fixing the drivers for both installed kernels might be as simple as running dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-kernel-dkms The version of nvidia-driver and related packages seem to be the same as what nvidia-smi reports, 418.226.00, so it doesn't look like there's anything super weird in the system.

Because that only applies to DEB packages installed (most of them come from a repository). If you installed it by the shell script, it is unrelated to the apt/dpkg stuff. Run dpkg -l *nvidia* and show the output.
