I tried the 4.20.0-antix.1-amd64-smp kernel.
The kernel will not build against any nvidia-driver available from repos or ddm-mx.
I could get it to build on my main system with the very latest from official nvidia-side,though.The 4.19.10-antix.1-amd64-smp builds fine against all drivers, even the nvidia-legacy on my old laptop.
At this time only the 4.20.0-antix.1 is in the package-installer as a recent kernel.Suggestion would be to keep the 4.19.10-antix.1 in the package-installer,too, because it builds fine against broadcam-sta,ndiswrapper, virtualbox-guest and nvidia.
Otherwise the 4.20.0-antix.1 runs very nicely and I sure will keep it on my main system.

Nice to know that you’ve made nvidia working for you. I am having trouble installing nvidia-driver and not able to set up optimus through bumblebee. Could you guide me to get nvidia working? What are the steps that you’ve followed?
I am encountering the following error:

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

Yes, I’ve seen your other post, but didn’t have the time to look for until now.
And yes you are right, the nvidia installation is not running properly.
It looks like a backports driver from mx-repo should be installed without activating the backports for all dependencies.(So there is a problem which wasn’t there at least some month ago)In short, what worked for me here actually without any problems despite all this,
open the baked in nvidia-installer from the terminalsudo ddm-mx -i nvidiaYou will be asked some questions, in your case for bumblebee and you will be asked for looking also in the backports. Say yes.
You will also be asked which driver to install normal or backports repo. Say backports.
This worked for me on antiX17.3.1
Graphics: Device-1: Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics vendor: Gigabyte driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 chip ID: 8086:0412 Device-2: NVIDIA GM206 [GeForce GTX 960] vendor: Micro-Star MSI driver: nvidia v: 390.87 bus ID: 01:00.0 chip ID: 10de:1401 Display: server: X.Org 1.19.2 driver: nvidia resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 960/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.87 direct render: YesWhat kind of hardware do you have?
BTW, this new driver from backports should build again the 4.20 kernel, I didn’t try until now.
