Hi,

Thanks for maintaining this package.

I'm running Bookworm with the 6.12.9+bpo-amd64 kernel. In there, I did my own
backport of nvidia-graphics-drivers 545.23.06-4~bpo12+1. At least, X-Window
can start, and it kind of works (ie: Xorg doesn't crash systematically at
startup time), but I've been experiencing a lot of instabilities, ranging from
X-Window freeze, to window manager crashing while other GUI works but no
keyboard, and up to my laptop being completely unresponsive.

FYI, my graphic card is a mobile RTX-4080. The previous (official) BPO version
of the driver used to work very well (just, it failed to start on the newer
BPO kernel).

It looks like there's a newer upstream driver. Can this be packaged? I'd test
it and report if it works well or not.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

I've just uploaded 535.216.03-2~bpo12+1, that should work for 6.12.

In my pipeline ...
