   Hi Uwe,   
      
   tried all three, nothing changes the stuck screen as shown on the attached VGA   
   monitor:   
      
   - `echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger` doesn't show on the monitor, but shows debug   
   log correctly in the dmesg output,   
      
   - `echo "Debian is great" > /dev/tty1` doesn't show on the monitor,   
      
   - pressing Alt+PrtSc+t doesn't show on the monitor and logs 'sysrq: This sysrq   
   operation is disabled.' in the dmesg output.   
      
      
   Please excuse if I repeat information:   
      
   The kernels that works fine (up to 6.1.0-37-amd64), show the boot log and then   
   at some point visibly change the screen resolution, the font gets visibly   
   thinner, the screen is cleared and the text-login prompt appears.   
      
   Later kernels (from 6.1.0-39-amd64 and what I'm using right now    
   .1.0-40-amd64) freeze the screen at exactly the   
   moment that switch occurs.   
      
   To me, it looks like whatever that switch does, just completely freezes screen   
   output. But, what was logged up to   
   that point stays on screen indefinitely (as in the photo). It's not that the   
   screen blanks because somehow the VGA signal   
   is wrong or lost, it keeps on showing that last screen content frozen in time.   
      
      
   Thanks and Bye,   
   Chris.
