    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 terminal

    sudo ddm-mx -i nvidia

    You 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: Yes 
    

    What 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.
