I have an antique ASUS P5WD2 motherboard with a NVidia FX 1300 graphics card.
Everything had been working in Debian 12 (Bookworm) . Then I installed Debian 13 (Trixie). Now I can't get past the login screen, using either gdm3 or sddm. It displays the users but when I click on one it doesn't do anything. In particular, it doesn't offer a password box. I reinstalled Debian 13 and it offered a password box, turned the screen blank, and offered the login screen again. There are no (EE) errors in /var/log/Xorg.log.1 other than not finding the "nv" module, but Nouveau loaded fine and reported a bunch of resolutions. journalctl -u gdm3.service reported -- Boot 0c595b536c564954916b27006cea0dbd -- Sep 04 21:14:47 tan systemd[1]: Starting gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager...
