Not anywhere I could find absent a complete URL. :(

You are apparently using the ancient inxi provided by Buster. The current
version, a mere script, can be had from upstream at:
https://smxi.org/docs/inxi-installation.htm#inxi-manual-install
What follows is an example of whatall I was hoping for (note the
different switches). I don't have full recollection of the many
improvements and bug fixes missing from Buster's antique.

Most likely that's false. As you should be able to see above, old
NVidia cards don't require tainting software to run X on modern
widescreen displays at their native resolutions. Almost certainly
all OP /needs/ to do is eradicate the tainting software, and its
configuration files, and if applicable, any library modifications
its installation created.
