Thanks for telling me.  Funny thing, it stopped working afterward and
cannot get it working again (ssh).  Getting ssh working was, in a way,
beside the point. I would like to figure out how to fix the display
issue.  If I had a working Ethernet connection to the Pi I could;
Download the firmware and put it on, Adjust configuration files easier,
and Report dmesg or similar message output to the list as needed.  

	I emphasize that this is to more quickly and efficiently fix the
display.  I realize that you mentioned that you are not able to help
with the composite video.  So no thoughts on whether the firmware would
help that problem?  That is, text off the screen.

Yes.
