That's a lot to look at. Thank you.

Now let's see how all those things Dan asked for work together:
Install/Upgrade inxi. Buster's inxi is a broken antique. Best to install
directly
from upstream. It's just a data collection and presentation script:
https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsmxi.org%2Fdocs%2Finxi-installation.htm%23inxi-manual-install&data=05%7C01%7Ckleenesj%40ucmail.uc.edu%7C0b895e40ae1845abc85b08dad477c4ea%7Cf5222e6c5fc648eb8f0373db18203b63%7C1%7C0%7C638055908118333462%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Od8tsIGlAhdF8HQbnDo2shuCpiPVRwr8jqATtd6vhhI%3D&reserved=0
To upgrade Debian's version, it's necessary to edit /etc/inxi.conf to remove the
upgrade blockage, so change B_ALLOW_UPDATE=false to B_ALLOW_UPDATE=true, then
run
inxi -U
to upgrade, and post here output from within an X terminal:
inxi -GSaz
Next, give us the whole log to see:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
or
cat ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
and provide the resulting URI here, or attach the file to your reply. Don't
paste
its content into the email unless you know how to prevent line wrapping that
makes
a mess of it.
