Nvidia card GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 FAILS
BewilderedBob:
Hello: the only driver used is the default provided with LL 6.0. Since I am a recovering Windows user, specific instructions are needed to install the legacy driver you named. Thanx.

Nvidia have provided a driver for Linux, but they stopped adding kernel support to the driver at kernel 4.13.
The GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 is listed amongst many on the Nvidia Legacy driver page under the section headed
--- Quote ---The 304.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs:
NVIDIA GPU product Device PCI ID
...
Quadro FX 560 0x039E
GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 0x03D0
GeForce 6100 nForce 405 0x03D1
...

The Nvidia website also says
--- Quote ---The Linux 304.* legacy driver series is the last to support the NV4x and G7x GPUs and motherboard chipsets based on them. Support for X.Org xserver version 1.19 was added to the 304.* legacy driver series with version 304.134, and support for Linux kernels up to Linux 4.13 was added with version 304.137. No further releases from the 304.* series are planned.

The LL help manual states
--- Quote ---If your card is listed here (meaning the Nvidia Legacy Driver page), you can either use the pre-installed video driver for Linux Lite or you can try the legacy driver. Linux Lite recommends you stick with the pre-installed video driver as it is the most reliable, and the safest choice.

The questions for me are
what is the 'known bug' in the original post ?
what drivers have been tried so far ?
If you've not tried the Nvidia legacy driver 304.137 it might be worth a go.

I assume that means that Nvidia does not provide a driver for their equipment - TRUE ?? If so, are there any addtl considerations for NOUVEAU driver(s) ??

Screenshot? What screenshot? Try reading here https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/nouveau Sorry, but I don't have any system/machine using Nvidia hardware.

But now running Lite 6.0 there are occasional screen freezes which require reboot. The resolution was reduced from 1920,1200 to 1600,1200 which seemed to help BRIEFLY but the bug persists. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanx.

Nvidia has always been problematic on Linux, let's hope it gets better now they've decided to open their code. You could try and install the drivers from Nvidia. Read here for more info on that https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/hardware.html#nvidia
