I saw this thread by chance.

gumanzoy Bullseye custom build shows that the table I made needs correcting/updating.
i.e. it is possible to get nvidia v340 driver working in Bullseye.

After testing gumanzoy custom build, I also found postings that some people managed to use sid repo to install legacy nvidia driver v340 for Bullseye.

I tried to follow the steps (by adding/using sid repo). It didn't give errors. For a moment I was hopeful that I can have n340 driver in Bullseye.
It didn't work for me. Just gave a blank screen when finished booting.

After tinkering a little and reading those reddit posts, I got it working.
