Nvidia packages kept back

I have Debian 12 installed on a server with NVIDIA ADA RTX4500 GPUs (used for machine learning with Tensorflow via Docker images). When I upgrade ("sudo apt upgrade"), I get the message that a number of packages (all related to Nvidia) have been "kept back". I am not sure

Sorry, just dicovered, it is not the full xorg.conf. This is the correct one, and below you can see, where the resolution can be forced. Using xorg.conf is nice, when you need special settings. Hope this helps (and sorry again, to attach a file, but I suppose, this makes it for the op easier).

Instead of using nvidia-settings, you could also create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit the settings you need. Yes, xorg.conf ois no more needed, as the driver itself checks the settings, but in some cases xorg.conf might help. I allow myself to attache mine here from the old days, it is for

nvidia vs nouveau driver and initrd.* size

I have several Debian/unstable machines, all with a Nvidia card. On one of them, due to a bug in nouveau in the past, I use the proprietary nvidia driver: libnvidia-legacy-390xx-* packages. And the initrd size is reasonable: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 66937544 2024-07-30 11:27:32 initrd.img-6.9.12
