Sometimes it locks, regularly only the upper half of the (visual) screen
is displayed in the lower half of the physical screen, etc.

I do not, I only know it worked whe I used nivdia drivers.

No, but has it an effect on the globall display ?

aptitude upgrade, message that nvidia-driver was not compatible anymore
with my card, do you want to continue ? -> No
Then all packages which where to be upgraded in half-installed state,
purging nvidia-driver* packages finishing the install of the other
packages, installing nvidia-legacy-390xx-* packages

There is the configuration of my thinkpad trackpad

It is at https://paste.debian.net/1081484/ I did not find anything
suspect in it.

it is installed, but obviously not used
Here are all the nvidia packages installed :

And from my past experiences, to get a smooth use (eg whe I put laptop
on dock it automatically uses the second screen) I would have prefered
to continue use the nvidia driver.
However I I must completely reinstall the nvidia driver for this, I'll
firts purge all those packages, hoping it will be sufficient to get a
working nouveau installation.
Thanks for looking at my problem
