Hi comunity,
I tried to install debian 9 on my notebook and after several attempts, a bug with the video driver persists.
With the nouveau driver, when I require the video card to play a youtube video in 720p for example, the screen will start flashing. Even if I kill the firefox process, the bug persists. So I installed the proprietary drive from NVIDIA (I tried the 304xx and 340xx) and after installing the proprietary drivers there is another worse bug: the screen splits into 6 smaller screens. With the two drivers, 304xx and 340xx, the same bug happens.
I've tried installing debian i386 and amd64, ubuntu, kubuntu, fedora, freebsd ... all presented the same problem (with both the proprietary and nouveau driver).
I tried various configurations of the xorg.conf file, including creating the file with nvidia-xconf package, nothing worked.
Looking in Google and another forums, I found only one user with a similar problem:

I tried the solution that appears in this topic, without sucess.
This is the link with an image of how the screen looks:

Can someone please help me with some idea? I am a student and I really want to use Debian for studies.

Compaq Presario CQ60-418DX
AMD Athlon X2 QL-64 Dual-Core Processor 2.10 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 8200M

Thank you for your answer and sorry for my delay to answer.stevepusser wrote:What version of the driver did nvidia-detect say was best for you?
Nvidia-detect recommends the 340xx... but, i tried 304xx and 340xx... both causes the same bug.
I discarded a hardware defect because with another OS ( Win7) the bugs does not happen.
I tried install with this method:

PS: i also tried with the driver downloaded from NVIDIA website, same problem: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverR ... 5161/en-us
