After totally upgrade graphic card problem

Issues & Assistance Hyprland
1

In the end, when I could make totally upgrade, I saw my graphics card drive changed. So when I install it with the original iso, the right driver is installed. However, the graphics card driver is changing after upgrade. Therefore, I cannot work stable. I have problems such as screen and mouse tremor, logout and session closure. Do I have a chance to protect the existing graphics card driver or install the same graphics card driver after upgrade?

Normally GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 but driver after changed NVD9

Please, read the hyprland wiki about Nvidia GPU or here

Nvidia is not supported by Hyprland.

NVD9 is not a driver but the code name of the GF119 (GeForce GT 610).

nouveau is the graphics card driver and has not changed after the upgrade:
before

after

But other important packages have been updated like mesa, wayland, xorg-xwayland, hyprland etc.

You might want to just reboot…

Thanks.

Yes I know this. But first install from iso is enough working.

Yes, you are right about the driver. I noticed that too later. But since that code was not a problem until NVD9, I wrote that part.
As far as I understand, since the kernel is updated, the name of that code changes, even if the content is unchanged, the new kernel is no longer compatible with this graphics card and driver. I think I will either not upgrade, or if I am going to use an upgraded system, I will not use hyprland right now.

I wish it could be solved with a reboot. I made 4-5 attempts while taking notes of that text. I was fixing it by going back to old snappers :slight_smile: The problem starts with reboot after total upgrade :slight_smile:
