Unfortunately, I have lost access to the reply to this email in the thread where Felix gave me some great suggestions.
I bumbled on and got to the point where I can login to v-11 with out having to edit the Grub Menu selection. Resolution is still 1024x768 hz: 60.
I have gotten to the point where I wan to solve the resolution by installing v-12 on my 500 GB SSD. However, although the CD/DVD drive is first in the Boot Menu, the system ignores that and boots into the Desktop.
Suggestions, please?
Thanks in advance.

Fortunately, I printed it.I guess I really did it this time, I found a HDMI to HDMi at the Microcenter but it doesn't open until 11:00am.Walmart has them, unless the pegs are all out of stock. Same for Best Buy. They're no different for PCs than for TVs.So I thought I'd go ahead and remove the xserver-org-video-radeon driver in preparation. When I rebooted the system I got an out of range signal again. When I booted in to the recovery mode I got a arm_radeon_ vga detect [radeon] *ERROR* VGA-1 probrd a monitor but no|invalid EDI error that repeats over and over.At the Grub menu with the default still selected, strike the E key, then navigate to the end of the line that begins linu. Append there nomodeset, then proceed with the boot via F10 or Ctrl-X. First, try normally using the HDMI cable you should have procured by now. Most developers haven't used VGA connections for more than a decade, so they miss regressions they cause. Until users discover and report them, nothing gets done about them. Digital connections both produce higher quality output, and more reliability.I really hate to bother you with this
Once again, your expertise and instructions have moved me back to whete I was.

I am at a resolution of 1024x768. Also, after I got in the first tine I decided to reboot and see what would happen. I had to do the fix again, so, f course, it is not permanent.
So the question is what do I do next? Perhaps, install Debian 12.0.0 on my 500 GB SSD.
What do you think?
Thanks in advance. Apologies to the list fo not replying to the with my last email in the thread.
