Hey guys
I am trying to solve this for a little while and i am not been able to find anything on the forums.
I have an old core i5 desktop with Nvidia Geforce 210 (GT218), which cinnamon is entering in failback mode every login.
Looking at /var/log/Xorg.o.log i see an error with this message:
NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module;
Some lines above i see the following:
(II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
but " update-glx --config glx" shows the /usr/lib/nvidia" package selected
I installed all NVIDIA-legacy-340xx packages , tried to install nvidia-glx package but it installs some nvidia-430 packages and the graphics interface go nuts, so i had to remove all nvidia related packages and reinstall only the 340xx ones.
Any suggestions? I was thinking about remove all nvidia packages and install the vendor driver, is there any other solution?
Thanks in advance.

Re: LMDE 4, nvidia geforce 210: failed to initialize the GLX module
You can look that guide for Bumblebee installation for your device. (Note: LMDE 4 is based Debian 10 Buster.) https://wiki.debian.org/Bumblebee
Also you must remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf file for Bumblebee using.
