On [cough] Trixie, just how do I change the video driver.
I'm using  driver xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-tesla-470 on older kernel
There must have been a reason, likely the available resolution.
With kernel 6.9.7-amd64 have to "startx" and then the available displays 
in Xfce are low.
"modprobe nvidia" complains cannot find the module.
I revert to 6.7.12 kernel
Do I need to "apt remove" the xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-tesla-470,
Reboot to the 6.9.7-amd64 kernel and reinstall the tesla-470 driver?
Find the /lib/modules/6.7.12 nvidia-tesla-470 module and copy it to
/lib/modules/6.9.7-amd64 ?
What files would I want to find?
