From the releasse notes:
Linux: blocked particularly old versions of Mesa/Nouveau drivers due to issues.
Could you please list the drivers that have been dropped?
I have several machines running old Nouveau video cards such as GeForce 8400GS.
I guess I'm ok on the Radeons.

I'm surprised that you are not just using the X11 interface.

All Mesa/Nouveau drivers < v11.0
11 was released in 2015, I believe, so you should be fine if you're not using horribly outdated ones.

Thank you. For clarity, I assume you mean Mesa version as I can't find an actual version of the nouveau driver.
My mesa version is 21.1.4. the kernel version is 5.10.27

Thank you again. I'm pleased to report that the old 8400 cards are working fine.

inxi is available in just about every distro's repository--it's an extremely useful system information script.
For graphics info, try "inxi -G":
Code: Select all
Graphics: Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: NVIDIA GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] driver: N/A
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.10 driver: intel resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2) v: 4.6 Mesa 20.3.4
This is an Optimus laptop, I'm a bit behind the times and use Bumblebee instead of PRIME to use the Nvidia card with the proprietary (so no Mesa) driver:
Code: Select all
$ optirun inxi -G
Graphics: Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: NVIDIA GP107M [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile] driver: nvidia v: 460.73.01
Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.10 driver: intel resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz
OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 460.73.01
