#175323 — Nvidia Legacy 304xx

Is this being kicked off Debian?

Dist-upgrade will remove it for a while now, lists it as installed but not 
needed, as well.
upgrade holds back most all xorg stuff.

Problems with kde plasma with both 304xx (works partially) and nouveau 
(hangs). What would I do now?
(I would prefer nouveau because it is "ours" but needs to work :-) )

Check, if 340xx works for you.

Best

Depends on whether NVidia releases a version that is compatible with
Xserver 1.19[1].  I'm afraid this might not happen in time for Stretch.

Buy a Radeon card?  Those seem to work very well with the free drivers,
unlike NVidia cards.

You could try libgl1-mesa-dri from unstable, but don't hold your
breath.  Improving support for these old cards is not a high priority
for the Nouveau project.

Cheers,
       Sven

He may be using laptop, which may make this option impossible.
