NVIDIA 64 bit + Knoppix64 not working

[klaus2008]

Hi DTeCH!

I got an email from this site telling that you might need some assistance.

The first thing I did when I read your message was to download an ISO image of the Knoppix version you are currently using.
I prepared an USB Flash device with Knoppix 8.2.0 then.
Now I have some time to investigate the situation.
Knoppix 8.2.0 was built in 2018. It is based on Debian stable (stretch), testing (buster) and unstable (sid) with the Linux 4.12.7 kernel. There were some improvements since.
In 2019 there was a public release of Knoppix 8.6.1 based on Debian stable (buster), testing (bullseye) and unstable (sid) with the Linux 5.3.5 kernel.
You see Knoppix 8.2.0 uses the previous Version of the Debian Distribution.

What kind of Nvidia GPU are you currently using? Nvidia sometimes removes older GPUs from the list of the supported Hardware.
I have got a PC with an Nvidia 960 GTX graphics card and another one with an Nvidia 1060 GTX graphics card. Is this the hardware you intend to use?

Hey Klaus!

No, the card that I'm using is an old one, it's the NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE Made in 2005 i think. Here's my "Windows 7 Ultimate" picture of CPU-Z snapshot & card:




Here's a bigger picture:



It runs everything fine on windows, except for the bigger games as usual, & i think I ran it on this same Knoppix 8.2 before I installed AMD to replace it,
& it ran fine... I think. I'm sure it did, i think. lol

Anyway, the driver version installed for it on Windows 7 is 9.18.13.908 ( NVIDIA 309.08 ) Win7 64bit. According to the CPU-Z tool.

It had to have worked because my Custom Dual GPU NVIDIA Card died a few years back, & the only card i had to use was the NVIDIA 6200 LE,
& I have no memories of there ever being a problem to install NVIDIA ever since you showed me how to do it. I just came to this thread,
copied your code, & ran it, then restarted, & everything was always good. I Use Knoppix a lot. I recently got an AMD card with more memory,
so I installed that instead about a year ago, but it burnt up recently, so I'm back to the NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE / 512MB for now.

I must have broken something somewhere, or removed the drivers or something, because now, the card runs everything, but VERY VERY SLOWLY,
& all the system animations each takes about 10 seconds to animate, as well as Youtube videos... SLOW & LAGGY, but the audio of the videos are fine,
with no lags, & Also, I can't fine any NVIDIA configuration toos installed on the system anywhere, so I think I uninstalled them maybe?

The only thing I have done differently now is, I haven't successfully run the code you gave me 7 years ago yet, the
"Experimental" branch seems to have removed all those files now. Every other time I got to this point, I Just came back here, & ran your code,
& everything was back to normal.
