The solution was to install was, as suggested, to do: install Debian Stable Gnome (Ugh!) 10.0 upgrade to Debian Stable 11.6 (linux-image-5.10.0-21-amd64) apt install -t bullseye-backports linux-image-amd64, which installed linux-image-5.10.0-21-amd64. Note: upgrade to Debian Stable 11.6 (linux-image-5.10.0-21-amd64) was not sufficient by itself. Thanks to all for the help!
