The upstream support for the Tesla 450 driver series is scheduled to end
in 07/2023: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/drivers/
i.e. around the expected release of bookworm.
It therefore shouldn't be released with bookworm.
The Tesla 470 driver series (EoL 07/2024) should support all devices and
features of the 450 series.
The severity of this bug will be raised once we approach the bookworm freeze.

Dear Maintainer,

As per bug 981114, unfortunately the 470 driver does not work with my
hardware, whereas the 450 driver does - I have to switch monitors
regularly, and with anything newer than 450 this then causes a loss of
sync on the display.

I suppose there's not a lot that can be done about this, it doesn't
seem to affect many people so I may just have to bite the bullet and
change my video card, but I wanted to at least point this out here.

All the best,
-David.

Control: reassign -1 nvidia-tesla-470-driver
Control: tag -1 upstream

Have you tried the 510 driver series? (Either as nvidia-driver in sid or
as nvidia-tesla-driver in sid or testing.)

Hi Andreas,

I'll have to say, I didn't even think to try something newer after the
problems I'd had last time. I do apologise, that was my mistake. 510
seems to work a treat, thanks very much indeed for suggesting it —
please feel free to ignore my previous comments!

All the best,
-David.
