Can you please share the name of the package? I don't know of a nouveau non-free firmware. I just searched but nothing good came up.

Not going to say there isn't an alternative but I had the same issue on a Lenovo laptop with a quadro GPU. I just gave in and installed the 418.88 driver from Nvidia and haven't had an issue since.

Hello good people,

Devuan Beowulf.

When I play some videos the box freezes but surely as soon as I run compton. I know from old experience, this could mean video driver issue or RAM. I checked RAM no issue there. The box runs nouveau even thought the video card is Nvidia. I don't want to bother installing the Nvidia driver.

Is there a possibility that an oxrg.conf file could fix the freezing issue?

Regards,
