Yes, but the Control Panel said Plastik.

I can only guess that there's a number-based scheme under the hood and 
that updating Trinity while it was running got the numbering in a tizzy 
between config files or something.

Even copying the input actions config file didn't result in the keyboard 
shortcuts working - I had to re-create them.

Now volume control shortcuts work but the only way to change backlight is
# echo 1500 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness

So I bit the bullet and installed Debian/Trinity on a new Wd Blue 1 TB SSD.

I did a fresh install of Debian Bullseye, removed Wayland and re-created 
my setup instead of blindly copying my existing settings.

Plastik is Plastik again.

Hell it might even work with Buster but I couldn't get to the desktop 
for some reason.

Even yesterday Trinity worked with wayland although text overlays on 
Google chrome/YouTube caused horrific screen tearing.

Today tdm-trinity.service failed to start - something about start 
commands being too close together.

In bullseye at least gdm3 pulls in Wayland so yoink wayland, gdm3.

That seems to have fixed getting to the desktop and screen tearing.
