Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

    * What led up to the situation?

      I intended to start an X display on an old Sharp Mebius PC-CB1-M1.

    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?

      I gave the startx command interactively.

    * What was the outcome of this action?

      A photo of the screen of the Mebius is visible here.

      Appears that the contemporary modesetting process failed.
      Consequently an earlier method of probing for a modesetting
      was attempted but also failed.  Error message
      "/dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory" indicates a
      detail of failure.

    * What outcome did you expect instead?

      Expected the X display to work as in earlier Debian releases.
      The Mebius is an old machine but quite useable for many purposes.
