so I got linux-image-6.1.0-17-amd64 linux-headers-6.1.0-17-amd64 installed and tried to boot to that kernel. It stalls and I have to ssh into this machine from another, and attempt to install the proprietary nvidia drivers since I know they work when the module actualls build properly. However, the build fails because I think my system was trying to boot to the nvidia-tesla-470 driver that was built when I got the packages for linux-headers-6.1.0-17-amd64 installed. I then try to reinstall the nvidia-tesla-470 driver and it completes, but when I reboot I still don't have any GUI. Do I have to manually go change the xorg.conf to use the tesla driver? if so, what do I choose instead of nvidia as the option? The proprietary nvidia driver shouldnt be loaded with kernel 6.x since it can't build, but the boot process stalls, and I'm not sure what changes to make. Currently, I am booted into kernel 5.10.0-23-amd64 using proprietary nvidia drivers that have been installed for a year or more.
