A GF119 GPU needs neither NVidia's proprietary driverS, nor the FOSS
display driver provided by the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package:
# dpkg -l | grep veau

As evidenced above, the FOSS nouveau device driver provided by each kernel,
and the FOSS modesetting display driver provided by xserver-xorg-core, are
sufficient support for at least two displays using GF119 on Bookworm.
