Hi, 

Is anyone having problems playing games on Steam? Loading is very slow
and seems unable to render graphics. My card is a GeForce GTX 750 Ti.

I'm using Testing up-to-date, nvidia-driver (390.77-1). I don't know
since wich version of nvidia driver because I play few times. I tried
to downgrade to 390.48-3 with no luck. Also tried to install non-glvnd
version of the driver but doesn't work either.

What can be the problem? I don't see errors related neither in Steam
nor in nvidia. I'm little bit lost.

Thanks for your help.

It doesn't note that a driver is installed. So, if you have the nvidia 
driver installed directly from nvidia, remove it. From a terminal run 
"locate nvidia", you might have to remove those files by hand IF you 
directly installed the driver from the nvidia website. Next, run 
software updater (it's in your XFCE system menu tab) and let it install 
your driver for you. Before you reboot, run /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig to 
create the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for you. Then a reboot should have 
you up and running. I HOPE this helps. Ric

That should no longer be necessary.  Running nVidia here without an
xorg.conf for a couple of years at least.

Hi Ric,

I always use nvidia driver from Debian but strangely OpenGL renderer
in use was Mesa (I didn't noticed when pasted the output). Don't know
which upgrade changed that. That should be the problem. I have purged
nvidia completly and installed again with:

$ sudo aptitude install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings libgl1-nvidia-glx
libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 libnvidia-glcore:i386 

Those latest packages installs non-GLVND OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES 32-bit
libraries which I think work better with old games. Now I get:

$ inxi -SGx
System:    Host: pc-debian Kernel: 4.17.0-1-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 7.3.0 
           Desktop: Xfce 4.12.4 Distro: Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid 
Graphics:  Card-1: NVIDIA GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 390.77 
           bus ID: 02:00.0 
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.0 driver: nvidia unloaded: modesetting 
           resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz 
           OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 750 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.77 
           direct render: Yes

Tried some games and are loading and running fine.

Thank you!

Great to hear!! I'm running two GeForce GTX 1050 Ti cards to 3 monitors. 
Using xinerama I have one display of 5760x1080 pixels across the three. 
I love my nVidia drivers. Ric
