Hi there!

Here's the problem, after the latest updates, my mx-linux config goes into low resolution, the sound is limited to audio analog, and I no longer connect my second screen, the main one with the hdmi tele for the sound.

I've managed to reinstall my functional configuration from five days ago thanks to timeshift, but if I re-update everything, I'm back in 'limited' mode.

Any idea what could be causing the problem, and is there a way to select the updates I want?

Why you ask in Debian forum instead of MX?

Often when displays in excess of one are lost, sound goes too, reason being the proper KMS driver didn't load, and digital sound typically rides on DisplayPort/HDMI. Do you have multiple GPUs, or an NVidia GPU running on non-FOSS drivers?

Showing input/output from a non-ancient version of inxi might help us help you: If you get not found or not installed errors for inxi or pastebinit, install them with apt.

Thxs, installed pastebinit but for inxi got this error: The following NEW packages will be installed:

Seems that my problem could be of a more general kind, linked to this.

Try apt-purge smxi-inxi-antix, a positively ancient inxi version. If that tries to remove other software, delete /etc/inxi.conf so that the new inxi can install its version. If you can get the antique purged, the current version can be installed from upstream. This inxi issue doesn't look at all related to that NVidia issue you linked to, but that may well be the issue about which you started the thread.

Yes, it's official now, it's realted to nvidia drivers and the last update. Wonderin about the use of inxi, and pastebinit for that matter... Sry, still a linux newbie. Could i simply swap kernel to a higher debian type, keepin my datas?

With insufficient information, potential helpers can do no more than speculate. Inxi output reduces absence of information.

Pastebinning is a tool for providing voluminous information that needn't be permanently hosted by a web forum. Such information when included directly in a help request reply often tends to obfuscate other information, and complicate reply formulation.

NVidia's drivers consistently lag behind new kernels. NVidia driver problems very commonly accompany new kernel installations. Dealing with such trouble requires the requester mention details, which include involved versions of such things as inxi reports.

Details of configured repos can matter a lot, and may be the most important absent information if you're hoping for Debian users to help you fix an AntiX or MX Linux problem. Adding the -r option to inxi might work nicely here.

inxi 3.3.01 is a broken antique (39 months old). Current is 3.3.34, with a lot of bug fixes accumulated, particularly WRT graphics.
