Bug#996595: nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver: NVIDIA service is not starting with the system

[Alessandro Reis de Alcântara]

Hi, Andreas.

I uninstalled every single package from nvidia and libnvidia again. Then I
reinstalled nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver. The libnvdia-cfg1 was installed
together again, I have no clue why.... But then, I removed the
libnvidia-cfg1 package. And then I was able to get the nvidia daemon up at
initialization.

I just had a problem starting the cinnamon. I had to modify the
"/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/nvidia-drm-outputclass.conf" to get it working
fine. The file had to be like this:


> *Section "OutputClass"*
> *    Identifier "intel"*
> *    MatchDriver "i915"*
> *    Driver "modesetting"**EndSection*



> *Section "OutputClass"*
> *    Identifier     "nvidia"*
> *    MatchDriver    "nvidia-drm"*
> *    Driver         "nvidia"*
> *    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"*
> *    Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes"*
> *    Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT"*
> *    ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"*
> *    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"**EndSection*


Now i'm running the nvidia 390xx legacy on Debian 11. Thanks for the
support. Any issue related to freezing problems, I will let you know.

Regards,
