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,

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.
