Thank you for your answer. I will try the nouveau user list.

I tried the  suggestion below, I mean delete nouveau_dri.so, but the 
system became unstable. I could not login, and the mouse and keyboard 
became very slow. After entering the correct password, the login screen 
would come back as if I hadn't done anything. That message was written 
before buster, and does not seem to work with it.

Thanks
