I have a vague memory of making desktop buttons to start specific virtual machines with some vbox command that I don't remember. You could probably start it with a command right after user autologin after all necessary services are running.

(Warning. This was so long ago, I might be remembering something with vmware.)

Right in front of you: That card, with it's official drivers, is HDMI 1.3 compliant.

Most 9800s don't even have an HDMI port.

ok, how at linux at gf9800 i can get 75, 120hz via dvi > hdmi connector without any hacks?
i try use same dvi > hdmi connector at radeon, yes i see many detected modes 75, 100, 120, 144 but no one works

ps

So, you're using a utility for writing mode entries to the registry on Window Vista... to generate modelines for X11

i take only numbers from cru to set up xrandr mode

It's a kernel warning (correcting my earlier comment: similar to, but lower severity than a true "oops") from the DRM translation table manager.
xfwm4 was terminated (by signal, but we don't know from where, could be e.g an xserver crash or a manual 'kill'), the kernel tried to release shared graphics memory buffers, then it hit an invalid opcode - likely because those buffers were in an inconsistent state.
The operation was aborted safely, thus it's a warning rather than an error

Thanks for explain Man!)
It seems happens when i manually killed xorg when monitor go "no signal"
Now i do not see that at dmesg

Current default time zone: 'Europe/Rome'
Local time is now:      Thu Jul  9 13:45:59 CEST 2026.
Universal Time is now:  Thu Jul  9 11:45:59 UTC 2026.
Run 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' if you wish to change it.

think the .reg file trick shared by Mr. RedGreen925 is very helpful;
it functioned on 1 computer that i use here quite reliably; however, it takes the windows machine about a half or minute or so to adjust; but otherwise it seem to function; but probably, it needs an internet connection to function.

where i live the UTC "universal" time seem not so much off, so i am not at odds with it;
very mjuch more so with the "current local time" which is affront, so calld "DST" "ora legale" "Sommerzeit" etc ~

basically in small room can get 3 different times depending on where i watch ~

TV gives me like                   07.39 (UTC)
my smartwatch on wrist        08.39 (local-time) > since have the wrist-watch not synced for along time.
radio-clock in kitchen-space 09-39 (local-"summer"-time) > the stupid does "align" itself via radio probably

the local-time is most true to the sun since it probaly 15min ahead of loca-tun-time~
and UTC is probably 45min behind suntime ~
whereas the "summer-time" "day-light-saving-time" if full 75minutes "ahead" of sun and a real bummer so doing my best to ignore it ~ but since it is ~ "legal" time, well, not fully to ignore, but thats for another topic.

it would be nice to set the time in BIOS, and that could be it.

see no reason why it should not function;

have an older laptop with "carrizo" or "kabini" based graphics and it still function with devuan 7.

Tl;dr, add backports to your apt sources list and you can get the drivers.

(without adding any printer, without any setup or configuration)
with this (in devuan Excalibur):

1. open terminal
2. execute: sudo ipp-usb
3. KEEP THE TERMINAL WINDOW OPEN AND RUNNING..
4. connect and turn on the printer-scanner
5. print as much as you want.. all is working
6. scan what you want (first select the scanner from the menu); all is working
7. close the terminal window (and the printer-scanner won't work any longer)

Does it?

For whatever reason, you seem to have have generated a size issue in the drive, apparently [root] which the OS reports being full.

Maybe your "small SSD" SDD is indeed too small for what you are attempting to do.
Maybe your partitioning is not the right one for a drive that small.

That said, bear in mind that you are on a [testing] release.
As such, it is usually/always problematic.

Boot with [gparted] live, open a terminal and run df to see "what is where" so to speak.
See what space [/home] and [/var/log] are using/have available and delete whatever you do not need to try to improve the situation.

Nuke a file named [.xsession-errors] usually found in [/home].

You may be able to boot after cleaning up all that.

A.

On inspection, both the rt and cloud kernels had been installed.

I needed to manually purge both the plain and unsigned versions of these kernels in order to get my system working properly (if I didn't do both they would dance between unsigned and signed).

sudo apt remove --purge linux-image-6.12.94+deb13-cloud-amd64 linux-image-6.12.94+deb13-cloud-amd64-unsigned linux-image-6.12.94+deb13-rt-amd64 linux-image-6.12.94+deb13-rtamd64 linux-image-6.12.94+deb13-rtamd64-unsigned

This is clearly a bug as nothing I have requires the cloud and rt kernels, and they never appeared before.

I got my nvidia working with external monitor. It was weird, apparently you need to set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add nvidia-drm.modeset=1

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nvidia-drm.modeset=1"

and
grub-update

It had a persistenced issue every reboot too, the fix:

/etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced stop || true
pkill -xf nvidia-persistenced || true
dpkg --configure -a
apt -f install

Then to see what's what:
dpkg -l | grep nvidia-persistenced
nvidia-smi | grep Persistence-M

It should be enabled and will now save the configuration.

I'm not sure if this is an nvidia driver issue on Devuan or just something funky with the Stellaris - it has an AMD 7840HS with AMD 780 and RTX 4070 and I'm plugging the monitor in via mini-display port. Either way, I'm posting it for whoever might need it in the future, including me smile.
