What is not working, HDMI video? HDMI audio? Both?

It's not the source of the i915 kernel device driver (module) for Intel GPUs. 
Each
kernel of necessity must get its own device driver set.

xserver-xorg-video-intel provides the intel display driver for X (DDX; hardware
Device Dependent X), which when installed will be used by Xorg/Wayland in lieu 
of
the default/preferred modesetting display driver for X (DIX: hardware Device
Independent X). Also involved in graphics are Mesa-dri and libdrm_intel1.

Inxi -GSaz does a much better job of reporting graphics configuration, e.g.:

Above noted you'll see i915 kernel module used for the GPU device, the 
modesetting
DIX used for the Xorg display device, iris used for dri, and Mesa dri used for
OpenGL rendering. Also in the output are shown kernel cmdline options from Grub
that may impact graphics.

Unrelated, but you could likely have got much the same effect by
simply `apt-get install xfce4`.


Yes, I think so also. Exactly therefore ordered this machine with a 
Devian installed. If Debian work in general than all desktops should 
work also.
I planned from begin to re-install wiht XFCE because this is my favorite 
desktop. Don't like Gnome.






During testing of the device I note that the HDMI interface doesn't work. A
lot of GOOGLE shows me that sometimes problems with the implemented GPU IRIS
Xe (Alder Lake-UP3 GT2) occurs.


https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Thinkpad/T14IntelGen3 looks
relevant, despite being for a different specific computer; it mentions
that specific GPU and that "switch to external screen" "only works
with a non-free driver and or firmware".



Looks very similar problem.

According Synaptic following packages are installed

- firmware-misc-nonfree
- firmware-intel-sound
- firmware-realtek
- firmware-sof-signed
- xserver-xorg-video-intel
I assume this is the source of the i915 driver.
Uninstalled this also for trial but no difference
- xserver-xorg-core
- xserver-xorg-video-all
- and some other xserver-xorg-video...
