I did that and am still stuck. Thanks for the suggestion.

I've heard that rule often but trusted a local friend who's built many Linux
machines to build mine. I've used *ix for 40 years but never assembled the
hardware. And here I am.
To use Bullseye, at the least you need either a backport kernel containing
Alder Lake support, or Bookworm (Testing) or Sid (Unstable).
I'll try Testing and, if that fails, maybe an add-on graphics card. Thanks.

Thank you. I hope to stick with Debian but will keep this in mind.
Another possibility comes to mind because there are cheap one way cables
out there, just waiting to snag some shekels from the relatively new
bee. So you might be able to get the get-edid to work with a different
cable that is all there for 2 way traffic. There is also the possibility
the monitor is too old to have an edid response but that is only a
suspect if it is over a decade old.

Thanks. get-edid doesn't find any EDIDs, and there are no edid files under
/sys/devices.

In the previous thread somebody spotted an issue with fetching modes
supported by the monitor. Examples of commands to debug such problem:
get-edid | parse-edid
edid-decode /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid
.
