Hi,
I also installed beryllium-1-i386.hybrid on a old notebook asus K50IP with a nvidia geforce G205M cuda Graphic card embedded. The OS already runs smoothly as it is, but I was wondering if installing other nvidia driver can enable it to gain any improvements. If the case, which drivers should I pick out from Synaptic?
Thanks

nvidia-detect
is in the repo, see what it says.

It is, in non free, but since you are looking to use the proprietary Nvidia driver you will be using the non free repo anyway.
ETA:
Okay, I see the problem, nvidia-detect is only 64 bit.

So, I don't need to install anything else, do I? Thanks

What might work is to manually install the Debian Stretch i386 package for nvidia-detect:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/nvidia-detect
It is the newest i386 version in Debian, if it works it will tell you which driver you need.

It's in my repos - but the 64bit version.
My apologies.
I made and 'alias': "ser" to use:
aptitude search {file name}
Try in a terminal:
31 Mar 23 @ 10:02:38 ~
$ aptitude search nvidia
I so not use synaptic.

This deb is what you need:
http://security.debian.org/debian-secur … 1_i386.deb
.dsc is a text file, used for Debian packaging.

ok, I installed it and ran
nvidia-detect
and got this:
nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C79 [GeForce G102M] [10de:0873] (rev b1)
Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation C79 [GeForce G102M] (rev b1)
Your card is only supported up to the 340 legacy drivers series.
It is recommended to install the
nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
I didn't find any nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver in synaptic, only -390...
thanks

Debian have a very useful package search:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw … ection=all
We see that nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver goes only as far as buster-backports.
Follow the "Developer Information" link to find that Nvidia no longer support that driver, it fails with Qt and has many unfixed security issues.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=973599
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … ug=1031488
Some websearching brings up a lot of people with the same problem, and all the suggested solutions look complicated. I'm sorry I know little about graphics drivers and can't offer any help.

No problem. I can do without it. Bunsenlabs already runs well on both my old netbook and notebook. I just wanted to know if I could get any improvement by installing nvidia drivers too.
Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

Many old nvidia cards may function just fine with nouveau and nouveau is still under development so bugs get fixed all the time.
