   Execute the following. This should at least verify that a render surface will   
   work.   
   If your fonts are still missing, we can work on that (might need to strace   
   two processes to get the info needed).

   The graphical result is not "pretty" and I would assume major   
   portions of output are still missing or are the wrong color.   
      
   There is a chance you have an NVidia card, like the two machines   
   I was working on moments ago (newer machine with LM221CINN, older   
   machine used to check out LMDE6 which is working).
