nvidia-legacy-304xx driver for Debian 11 (Bullseye)

#1 Post by Len E. »

The implementation method used was almost identical to that used
with Debian 10, as summarized in the 2019-12-29 entry to the
post “nvidia-legacy-304xx driver for Debian 10 (Buster)",
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=144257

1) In reverting to xorg-server (1.19.2), it required the
forced installation (dpkg --install *.deb) of 11 stretch packages
rather than 10:

xserver-xorg-core_1.19.2-1+deb9u5_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu_1.2.0-1+b1_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-video-ati_7.8.0-1+b1_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-video-fbdev_0.4.4-1+b5_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.99.917+git20161206-1_i386.deb
libxcb-util0_0.3.8-3+b2_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau_1.0.13-3_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-video-qxl_0.1.4+20161126git4d7160c-1_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-video-radeon_7.8.0-1+b1_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-video-vesa_2.3.4-1+b2_i386.deb
xserver-xorg-video-vmware_13.2.1-1+b1_i386.deb

The intel video module has a dependency on libxcb-util0:
Stretch and Buster use the same version of it, but Bullseye
doesn’t have it.

2) For kernel replacement, the linux-headers-4.9.0-264-antix.1-686-smp-pae
and linux-image-4.9.0-264-antix.1-686-smp-pae .deb files were used.
(The 64-bit versions are used in the antix-bullseye beta1 release, and they
are available on antix-19.4).

The debian-11.0.0-netinstall.iso does not have any linux-headers installed.
Only the image packages, linux-image-5.10.0-8-686-pae and linux-image-686-pae
need to be removed.

3) Again, follow EXACTLY the July 17, 2018 steps in the “nvidia-304 won’t install”
post, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2396263,
except: leave out the patch.

That looks like a fairly poor solution.
Expect trouble.
