Hi Richmond,
I found this from https://packages.debian.org/sid/nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver[1]
"Building the kernel module has been tested up to Linux 6.2."
Ok, building does not really mean, it is working, only it is buildable.
The other information I mentioned ("it segfaults with qt-libs") I could not
find any more. Maybe I
saw it in the wiki and the wiki is now changed.
So, just stay with the Intel driver and NO Nvidia and No Optimus, sigh.
Best
