Yes, I am sure, no other version is working. It is GeForce G210 and GeForce
G86m, both NEED 340xx.
In that case, I've never actually tried to do it, but since Debian
support for 340xx version is officially EoL, I think it's ok to install
officially supported driver¹ from Nvidia.
Or, if you feel adventurous, you can build a backported packages of
nvidia legacy 340xx driver from buster-backports.
I've always used parts of this guide² and had successfully build
packages from source³ package and DKMS module was also build
successfully during package installation.
You can get source package using "dget":
$ dget
http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/n/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx/nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-340xx_340.108-10~bpo10+1.dsc
No code patches were made by me, except changing "changelog" file via
'dch' and bumping up version numbers.

Same listing is for i386 arch too.
To build 32-bit packages the process essentially the same, but you
(AFAIK still) have to do it under 32-bit environment (chroot, lxc/lxd
container, VM, etc).
I didn't tested this build on actual hardware yet, but it looks
promising to me.
Good luck.
