Hi Ric,
I always use nvidia driver from Debian but strangely OpenGL renderer
in use was Mesa (I didn't noticed when pasted the output). Don't know
which upgrade changed that. That should be the problem. I have purged
nvidia completly and installed again with:
$ sudo aptitude install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings libgl1-nvidia-glx
libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386 libnvidia-glcore:i386
Those latest packages installs non-GLVND OpenGL/GLX/EGL/GLES 32-bit
libraries which I think work better with old games. Now I get:
$ inxi -SGx
System: Host: pc-debian Kernel: 4.17.0-1-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 7.3.0
Desktop: Xfce 4.12.4 Distro: Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid
Graphics: Card-1: NVIDIA GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 390.77
bus ID: 02:00.0
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.0 driver: nvidia unloaded: modesetting
resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 750 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.77
direct render: Yes
Tried some games and are loading and running fine.
Thank you!
