You'd better nudge nvidia to allow devs of xorg to update the nvidia kernel modules for all their older video cards, it is missing a tiny blob only, then people simply could upgrade to buster and bullseye. Its not the user not willing to update his system,
Nope, you use nvidia and if nividia doesn't support your old card
anymore, use nouveau. Or use nouveau from the start.
but the hardware manufacuter. (Was quite tricky to force the last available proprietary nvidia driver for this notebook GPU run even on buster, but it was worth it.)
Nope. Don't use nvidia is the solution here, as simple as that. "Augen
auf beim Hardwarekauf" is a idiom here in Germany, rougly translated
"Open your eyes when buying hardware"
For exactly the reasons you reiterate below people should not use or buy
nvidia stuff.
Anyway, since I wasn't able to make it work on bullseye by now, the following test was run with nouveau driver instead.
Good.
Concerning the bug:
I've managed to run a test for Libreoffice on bullseye now, using a Live USB medium. Doesn't count whether the needed propriatary nvidia driver isn't available for bullseye, since for this testing the nouveau graphics driver is a basic replacement (not fit for everyday usage due to generally heavy delay in response, broken in dualhead and on resume after suspend on this device, anyway, this driver is the main issue keeping me from upgrading to bullseye completely.)
The interessting result is: I found the issue described by my original report (from backport to buster) present also in the non backported version on bullseye. Behaviour exactly as described above.
Hrm. Bad.
Version numbers as reported by Libreoffice GUI:
Version: 7.0.4.2
Build ID: 00(Build:2)
CPU threads: 1; OS: Linux 4.9; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE
Debian package version: 1:7.0.4-4+deb11u1
Calc: threaded
For the record: This is not bullseye. It is bullseye without updates
(and especially security updates) (bullseye contains deb11u3, security
deb11u4)

Rene
