Shame on me, many errors. I want to install the nvidia driver non-free, this one is installed, downloaded on nvidia site : "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-340.107.run"
Oops. Never install nvidia .run files in debian, ever. You fuck up all the gl redirection libs this way. Only install nvidia drivers from debian repo (self compile using apt-src from experimental if you really need the latest ones). You now need to uninstall using nvidia installer, force reinstall all the gl related stuff (mesa, etc), than install nvidia drivers from repo.
From personal experience with MX Linux (non-systemd Debian 9 stretch), I concur with Nik and Nick (and I'll add nvidia is a twitchy little asshat).
- Get a working system with nouveau. - Install nvidia only from repo.
You probably can find info on the MX forums on how to completely remove nvidia. Thankfully when I needed to do it the MX script 'just' worked, so I can't give you any specifics.
Best, Michael
