Stock Debian 10 Buster. Clean install. Former graphics card: Nvidia GT-710. Newer GPU is Nvidia GTX-950. Clean install prior to swapping video cards.
Upon swap of cards, Buster boots without problem. "Nvidia X Server Settings" (app) shows new card as installed.
How can I confirm that the correct driver is installed? I saw no Notices that a new driver was installed. The sound system is acting strange, however. Sound Settings shows sound as muted and no clicking the muted speaker icon unmutes. Sound is produced at output/back of 'puter.

Re: GPU Driver After Video Card Swapout
It will be using the same driver you had before. Nvidia Settings should show the version. Also:JeSuisFlaneur wrote:Stock Debian 10 Buster. Clean install. Former graphics card: Nvidia GT-710. Newer GPU is Nvidia GTX-950. Clean install prior to swapping video cards.

Code: Select all
lspci -k | grep -i -A3 VGACheck PulseAudio Volume Control. Sometimes it prioritises HDMI audio instead of built-in audio and you may have to switch it back. In pavucontrol Configuration tab, select HDMI audio profile and change it to "Off" if you don't use it. Or vice-versa if you do use it.The sound system is acting strange, however. Sound Settings shows sound as muted and no clicking the muted speaker icon unmutes. Sound is produced at output/back of 'puter.
