Public bug reported: Nvidia driver 418 for Focal now installs version 430, which doesn't support Kepler cards.
With my card (Nvidia GT 750M) I should be able to use version 418 (https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux- x86_64/418.113/README/supportedchips.html). However, the nvidia-driver-418 package installs version 430, which doesn't support my card (https://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux- x86_64/430.50/README/supportedchips.html). Therefore, I am forced to use version 390 instead. Is there any reason for this redirection? Looking at the version number it sounds like I'd be better off installing 418 instead of 390, but I am unable to do so at this point.
