I tried booting up current Manjaro with the old rockchip kernel (from ayufan's Bionic images) to have proper hw acceleration for now (gpu/vpu). To my surprise it mostly worked out of the box. Wifi support needed some extra work as I had to figure out which firmware blobs to put where (the wifi drivers were obviously made for Android, the blobs need to reside at /system or /vendor) and turn off mac randomisation as this seems unsupported (NetworkManager has it turned on per default).
The kernel ran mostly fine (suspend works etc.) except for – you might have guessed it – gpu/vpu support. Chromium just doesn't pick up the gpu/vpu like it does using the Ubuntu Bionic or ChromiumOS images. What am I missing here?
Most of my Linux experience comes from running servers (and a bit of Android hacking some years ago), so when it comes to graphics I'm kinda lost
Any help appreciated!
