Jeremy,

Hadn't thought of this.

lspci reports:
VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Device 699f (rev c7)
which translates to a Gigabyte Radeon RX 550.

I have a replacement, non-gaming, video card but haven't yet switched the
two.

and,

No. My time is focused on developing more business so this desktop hasn't
been hardware upgraded and the spare desktop needs more attention. I might
run -current on the spare but generating revenue has my highest priority.

Stay well,
