Can I please get it from the gurus here, whether this card, NVIDIA
GeForce 7600 GT, works in Debian buster.
I've used this guide,
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#Identification
But do have problems:
youtube will go black before images show up
vlc will go black before playing videos
I cannot change resolution, or any settings, do see below
clicking on 'Nvidia X Server Settings' does nothing, like I did not
even
click on it from the Applications>System Tools>Administration menu,
where I can find 'Nvidia X Server Settings' at the top of that menu.
lspci -nn | egrep -i "3d|display|vga"
gives
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G73
[GeForce 7600 GT] [10de:0391] (rev a1)
Thanks a lot for your considered response.
(From nvidia-detect)
$ nvidia-detect 10de:0391
Checking driver support for PCI ID [10de:0391]
Your card is only supported by the 304 legacy drivers series, which is
only available up to stretch.
In other words; downgrade Buster to Stretch if you want to use the
nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-304xx packages
Maybe you can install the 304 driver, but you must downgrade the Xserver
to version 1.19
