Thank you for that pointer, Carsten. I think that likely would have
helped. Still, when working on a new system, would you follow these
instructions or rather install Ubuntu? As helpful as such instructions
are, most folks don't want to be bothered. They want their graphics card
to work. When Debian describes tinkering with GPUs, then this should be
something constructive, like for flashing some new bios with extra feats
- not for the basics.

Best,
