Error when enabling graphics acceleration in Debian 10
It seems that the graphics acceleration is not activated, because the videos in VLC run freezing. And every time I start the system, this error appears:

I typed "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free" in the sources.list and is now giving this error:

ok last line duplicates the the "main" repo that is already defined on line 7. So to fix it you can remove the last line and add "contrib non-free" to the end of line 7. You should probably add them to the other lines too.
So your sources.list should look like:
Code:
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.6.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64 NETINST 20200926-10:16]/ buster main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main contrib non-free
# buster-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main contrib non-free
# This system was installed using small removable media
# (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
# entries were disabled at the end of the installation process.
# For information about how to configure apt package sources,
