…and the E130 uses the same GPU core as my T530. Now, it's getting 
complicated!

This would be a bit of work… I apt update/upgrade about every day, but I 
don't use freecad as often as I upgrade the system…
Kernel is 5.10.0-5-amd64, now, but I guess this was upgraded, lately. No 
change, whatsoever.

Done that, no change.

On my system, there is freecad, freecad-common, freecad-python3, 
libfreecad-python3-0.19 and every single package is labeled as 
0.19.1+dfsg1-2.

Another try: I'm using Gnome on all my 3 systems(, which should all have 
the same Gnome version numbers, since I use Debian Testing on all of 
those machines). Do you use another Desktop Environment?

Greets!
