Dear Debian devs,

I have spotted a bug in Trixie where you have a chance of booting into CLI
mode and typing in startx gives you an error of "No screens found!" even if
I have HDMI plugged in, and the bug is permanent so you're stuck in CLI
forever and this bug annoys me so much and other people too. Maybe it
thinks its in headless mode but it really isn't, and its related to Xorg. I
suggest you use this thing:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16

in /boot/config.txt.
Hope to get a Trixie update soon.
