Should work. I am running 6.9.7+bpo-amd64 with 340xx. I made a description, how I did, this should also work on 6.1. kernel. Although I aready sent it here, I repeat it (with some minor additions). -------------------- Attention: Sometimes, nvidia-detect says, use 340xx-legacy, but I had some cases, where I in real had to use 390xx. So, if 340xx is not working, try 390xx. Do it exactly in this order desribed below and you may read this site before. https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers[1][2][1] 1. Install module-assistant 2. Enter the line for sid into your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/[2][1] sid main contrib non-free non-free- firmware 3. apt update 4. apt install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver firmware-misc-nonfree This should install all necessary files and build the kernel module. Here it did work. 5. Do NOT upgrade any other files! Do NOT aot upgrade or aptitude upgrade now although it will install many other packages. Ignore that! It will break your system!! 7. Remove the sid entry from sources.list! (Very important!!!) 8. Do again an apt update. Thus you are not going into the danger, to install any more packages from sid. 9. If you need bumblebee or primusrun, because you have two GPUs (one in the CPU and one extern), then use the packages from stable. This will work! My notebook is a Lenovo T520 with Intel CPU (and internal Intel GPU) and also NVidia GPU as external GPU (soldered on mainboard). I have to use optimus, to get my external GPU (NVidis) running. -------------------- Hope, this helps. Ah, and last but not least: Big thanks to the lads and guys, who made 340xx and 390xx buildable again, great work! Big big thank you!!! Here on my system, 390xx is working like a charm. Please feel free to ask for more. Good luck! Hans -------- [1] https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers [2] http://deb.debian.org/debian/
