Yes, but it’s not only the kernel. The driver nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver isn’t in the repository of bullseye edition from debian.
https://packages.debian.org/de/sid/nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

antiX21 is bullseye, antiX19 is buster, you could try ,
but what is with the nouveau driver.Does it not work ?

Support-End 2022-07 (LTS-End) (2024)
These are the dates for support for buster.It’s up to you.

It’s a pity old graphic cards always lose support so quickly.

It seems you are not dual-booting. Isn’t it possible to boot in bios- mode on the laptop.
Because it sounds like the problems with the nvidia-driver are only in efi mode, if I understand the howtos correctly.

The problem with the backlight is described in the arch-wiki.

There’s also no opengl 3D-rendering.

I was a little surprised that the nvidia 340 driver is still installed by the nvidia installer on antiX21, but it looks like mx-developer and antiX have an in-house 340-legacy driver for bullseye.
Unfortunately, this does not work properly with your card.

You are using sgfxi from tty as it needs no driver loaded to install. From your desktop ctrl+alt+F1 or F2 then ctrl+alt+F4 to come back to the desktop after installing driver.
One thing with sgfxi if you have already installed a driver from some where else it will error. You need to removed the installed driver completely first.
Their is bumblebee-nvidia driver too but something I have never really understood is switching drivers on linux getting it to use nvidia and not nouveau.
One other thing if you install the nvidia-legacy driver 340 make sure you install the complete package there not auto installed sometimes with the driver.

Hope you get there.

yes

>Why unable ?
the driver installer is acting strange, not displaying available driver name that are available… like it just says

available from main repo:
currently installed:

weird…

but currently all my previous issues are solved, backlight brightness is working and i think hardware acceleration is working too
