The current version, a mere script, can be had from upstream at: https://smxi.org/docs/inxi-installation.htm#inxi-manual-install What follows is an example of whatall I was hoping for (note the different switches). I don't have full recollection of the many improvements and bug fixes missing from Buster's antique. # xrandr | egrep 'onnect|creen|\*' | grep -v disconn | sort -r Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 2280, maximum 16384 x 16384 HDMI-1 connected 2560x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 673mm x 284mm DVI-I-1 connected primary 1920x1200+0+1080 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 598mm x 336mm 2560x1080 60.00*+ 1920x1200 59.88* 59.95 # inxi -GISay System: Host: big41 Kernel: 4.19.0-12-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 8.3.0 parameters:...noresume mitigations=auto consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 Desktop: Trinity R14.0.9 tk: Qt 3.5.0 info: kicker wm: Twin 3.0 dm: TDM Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GF108 [GeForce GT 630] vendor: Gigabyte driver: nouveau v: kernel bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:0f00 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa display ID: :0 screens: 1 Screen-1: 0 s-res: 2560x2280 s-dpi: 120 s-size: 541x482mm (21.3x19.0") s-diag: 725mm (28.5") Monitor-1: DVI-I-1 res: 1920x1200 hz: 60 dpi: 82 size: 598x336mm (23.5x13.2") diag: 686mm (27") Monitor-2: HDMI-1 res: 2560x1080 hz: 60 dpi: 97 size: 673x284mm (26.5x11.2") diag: 730mm (28.8") OpenGL: renderer: NVC1 v: 4.3 Mesa 18.3.6 direct render: Yes Info:...Shell: Bash v: 5.0.3 running in: konsole inxi: 3.2.01 # xrandr | egrep 'onnect|creen|\*' | grep -v disconn | sort -r Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 2520, maximum 16384 x 16384 HDMI-1 connected 2560x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 673mm x 284mm DVI-I-1 connected primary 2560x1440+0+1080 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 598mm x 336mm 2560x1440 59.95*+ 2560x1080 60.00*+ # inxi -GISay System: Host: big41 Kernel: 4.19.0-13-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 8.3.0 parameters:...noresume mitigations=auto consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 Desktop: Trinity R14.0.9 tk: Qt 3.5.0 info: kicker wm: Twin 3.0 dm: TDM Distro: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GF108 [GeForce GT 630] vendor: Gigabyte driver: nouveau v: kernel bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:0f00 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.4 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa display ID: :0 screens: 1 Screen-1: 0 s-res: 2560x2520 s-dpi: 120 s-size: 541x532mm (21.3x20.9") s-diag: 759mm (29.9") Monitor-1: DVI-I-1 res: 2560x1440 hz: 60 dpi: 109 size: 598x336mm (23.5x13.2") diag: 686mm (27") Monitor-2: HDMI-1 res: 2560x1080 hz: 60 dpi: 97 size: 673x284mm (26.5x11.2") diag: 730mm (28.8") OpenGL: renderer: NVC1 v: 4.3 Mesa 18.3.6 direct render: Yes Info:...Shell: Bash v: 5.0.3 running in: konsole inxi: 3.2.01 # xrandr | egrep 'onnect|creen|\*' | grep -v disconn | sort -r Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 2520, maximum 16384 x 16384 DP-2 connected 2560x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 673mm x 284mm DP-1 connected primary 2560x1440+0+1080 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 598mm x 336mm 2560x1440 59.95*+ 2560x1080 60.00*+ # inxi -GISay System: Host: p5bse Kernel: 5.9.0-4-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.0 parameters:...mitigations=auto consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 Desktop: Trinity R14.0.10 tk: Qt 3.5.0 info: kicker wm: Twin 3.0 dm: TDM Distro: Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GF119 [NVS 310] vendor: Hewlett-Packard driver: nouveau v: kernel bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:107d Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.10 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa display ID: :0 screens: 1 Screen-1: 0 s-res: 2560x2520 s-dpi: 120 s-size: 541x533mm (21.3x21.0") s-diag: 759mm (29.9") Monitor-1: DP-1 res: 2560x1440 hz: 60 dpi: 109 size: 598x336mm (23.5x13.2") diag: 686mm (27") Monitor-2: DP-2 res: 2560x1080 hz: 60 dpi: 97 size: 673x284mm (26.5x11.2") diag: 730mm (28.8") OpenGL: renderer: NVD9 v: 4.3 Mesa 20.2.6 direct render: Yes Info:...Shell: Bash v: 5.1.0 running in: konsole inxi: 3.2.01 Alexander V.

As you should be able to see above, old NVidia cards don't require tainting software to run X on modern widescreen displays at their native resolutions. Almost certainly all OP /needs/ to do is eradicate the tainting software, and its configuration files, and if applicable, any library modifications its installation created. -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science.
