340 nvidia driver available only in sid repo of Debian 11. If i link Debian 11 sid repo to Devuan what happened?

Also was tried this trick. But i have stuck at installing nvidia-modprobe it need libc6 that broke locales and etc.

A step by step description and a printout of the terminal as the job progresses would be ideal.

I follow this instructions and broke my Devuan((

Altoid
Thanks for great explanations man! You awesome!

If you try and succeed, please let us know how you did it and what results you got.

Ok. I am try and report here about result.

The 340XX drivers are propiertary/closed source and Debian cannot supply a 340XX package because Nvidia will not update them for newer kernels.

Arch AUR community patched this drivers for new kernels and its still works.

Hi!) Thanks for quick reply)

Non-free nvidia driver i am installing from Devuan repo.

# apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's/[^-]*-[^-]*-//') nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

I have bit problem with blacklisting nouveau on Devuan. Blacklisting method through /etc/modprobe.d/* not help. I am blacklisted nouveau only through GRUB. Why usual(/etc/modprobe.d/*) method blacklisting not work?

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="modprobe.blacklist=nouveau nouveau.blacklist=1 nomodset quiet splash"
