PINE64

As you may have seen in my other posts, I am tinkering with Gnome in PMOS/Alpine.

Originally, I installed Gnome alongside Phosh and started it from Terminal. Although all individual screen elements were rather small, this produced a near perfect screen layout (for me at least).

I am now trying to build an image from scratch that I may be able to share. However, deleting Phosh and booting right into Gnome has messed up the video driver.

Checking under Settings/Details/About gives me "Graphics unknown" whereas my old setup says "Graphics Mali400".

I found some interesting info about the Mali400 hardware here:

https://wiki.debian.org/MaliGraphics

And, checking both my installations, I found a file called    mali-dp.ko   in

/pmOS_root/lib/modules/5.5.0/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/arm

The problem seems to be that this driver was deactivated when I deleted Phosh.

How can I get it back to run?

Many thanks for your help.

Why not join [url="https://matrix.to/#/#main:postmarketos.org]our Matrix room[/url]? You get way better and quicker support there. Especially if you're creating an image to share, we can help you out there by making it a proper UI package.

Thanks, I registered, but it all seems to be very technical to a noob like me. I'll have to read a bit before I can join in.

See you there sometime.
