Thanks for the pointer to https://www.phoronix.com/news/Cirrus-Dolphin-Linux-Audio. <https://www.phoronix.com/news/Cirrus-Dolphin-Linux-Audio> According to https://packages.debian.org, xserver-xorg-video-cirrus_1.5.3-1+b3_amd64.deb for Debian Stable (Bullseye) does seem to be at deb http://*ftp.de.debian.org/debian <http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian>* bullseye main but that is not a backport. When I look at https://packages.debian.org and search "bullseye-updates" and "bullseye-backports" I get this: "You have searched for packages that names contain cirrus in suite(s) bullseye-backports, all sections, and all architectures. Sorry, your search gave no results". Searching "bookworm" (testing) does show: xserver-xorg-video-cirrus_1.5.3-1+b5_amd64.deb but I don't know if I can use that with my Debian 11.6 "live" usb stick. I hate to sound stupid, but could someone please tell me how to add that to the Debian 11.6 "live" usb stick? I know how to enable the bullseye backports repository in /etc/apt/sources.list, but then I dont know how to "get to" and use backports; I've never had to do that before.
