The card was a relatively cheap option to work with a new motherboard,
the PC that you gave me failed, seemed like MB or CPU, income had
improved, enough, so I bought a MSI mainboard and Ryzen CPU, the board
had video connectors, but the CPU did not include the video. It was a
way to have video, without having any recommendation. I may buy
something else, but timing is a bit of a pain at the moment with not
supposed to travel.

To get it as I currently want, I just need to be able to tell the
video system to not use a uniform margin all round. The colour and
crispness is not an issue, although I would not rely on the colour for
photography, that is where I would look at the monitors you suggest.
It may be that I need to redo the initial probe and detection for
video configuration. As to TV at home, I have no free to air land
based signal, I have to use a VAST box (Viewer Assisted Satellite
Television), that is currently out of service. It is a UEC box,
actually a small Linux box, but without external access, it has an
ethernet port, but not enabled. If it continues to not work and I get
another, I would like to bring it to a LUV workshop for the curious.

it is a 12V Wintal 24" LED TV, I bought from Radio Parts, I intend to
use it more with a Raspberry Pi to have a 12V system for mobile and
remote computing. When I go to various events demonstrating
handspinning, I would like to have computing facility, and the
capacity to play a video of what I do when I have to go to the toilet
or get lunch.

I am also running into another issue, a Debian bug with scanning. I
have been reading up, but the behaviour is puzzling. SimpleScan works,
but scanimage and the other command linme tools do not see the
scanner, but it is there when I do lsusb. The scanner is a Canon LIDE
210, and it works well on the out of date Debian on the Acer
TravelMate 3230. I appear to have appropriate permissions and such,
but some detail is still out of place. I may try adding myself to the
scanner group, but that should not be necessary. I want to use
scanimage as I can increment an index number for each page the way I
want, which is not the way SimpleScan does.
