<p>Nvidia driver major versions are not interchangeable or always
upgradeable. The newer drivers than mine, i.e., the ones whose
major version numbers are higher than 525, have not in the past
worked with my graphics card. This is why multiple major versions
are available in the repositories.</p>
<p>nvidia-detect tells me to install nvidia-driver. nvidia-driver is
major version 525, as far as I can tell.</p>
<p>If I should be using a different driver then I am not being told
to do that by the latest available versions of the tools that the
documentation (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#nvidia-detect">https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#nvidia-detect</a> ) says
I'm supposed to use to determine which driver to use.</p>
<p>Perhaps the problem is indeed that I should be using a different
version. But if that's the case, then there is still a bug in
testing that needs to be fixed, because (a) upgrading from testing
did not automatically upgrade me to the version I should be using
and (b) the tooling that is supposed to tell me what version to
use is not telling me to use a newer version.<br>

Why do you expect the driver from stable to work with the kernel
from testing?
<br>
Please use the driver from testing.
