I should have posted to the debian users group, but unfortunately, I 
can't  access the last reply you sent. 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.
