There should be a group named video in /etc/group.  This is a standard
Debian group name, placed there during installation.  It originates in
the /usr/share/base-passwd/group.master file, and is copied to /etc/group
by the base-passwd.postinst script, if the /etc/group file is not
already present.

During a standard installation, the "initial user" (the one created during
installation, with UID 1000) gets added to this group.

unicorn:~$ grep video /etc/group
video:x:44:greg

Perhaps you're looking at one of your non-Debian systems, in which case
the groups may be different.

debian bullseye, and I didn't scroll down far enough in /etc/group, video is there and I'm a member. So there is another blocker somewhere. dmesg is fussing it can't read the firmware or something like that, maybe the card has puked? IDK
dmesg says:

Thank You.
