You didn't install the metapackage nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver, did you? > pn nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver <none> > ii nvidia-legacy-340xx-kernel-dkms 340.108-2 > pn nvidia-legacy-340xx-kernel-source <none> > hi nvidia-legacy-340xx-kernel-support [nvidia-kernel-support-any] 340.108-2 And the glx alternative still points to mesa: > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jan 7 23:11 /etc/alternatives/glx -> > /usr/lib/mesa-diverted which effectively disables the nvidia driver. I cannot reproduce this by just installing xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-340xx (without Recommends) in a minimal buster chroot - the glx alternative is nvidia as it should be. You should undo all manual filesystem manipulations (moving nvidia_drv.so, creating Xorg.conf, ...) and purge all nvidia packages. Thereafter install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver again. Andreas
