Hi donchurch. It's great you were still tinkering with this and like me want a systemd-free OS.
As you were able to log in via your external monitor you may have been close to getting into the desktop.
Did you try editing your xorg.conf file to define a screen matching your monitor?
I cannot check my own configuration as my PinePhone's screen sadly broke when it fell out of the keyboard case. When I get my replacement I will tape it in place!
You could also try installing a different display manager like xdm and see if that will work instead of lightdm. You will need to plug a keyboard in if you cannot configure an onscreen keyboard to log into the display manager!
My very outdated Slarm64 was working nicely for daily use. As mentioned in an earlier post, it worked on the PinePhone screen when I swapped in one of Megi's kernels. Your Maemo kernel might even work. You just have to make sure the version number matches closely enough with your Slarm64. Here is Megi's 6.12 kernel: https://xff.cz/kernels/6.12/pp.tar.gz
I am still really short on time but when I come back to this I will probably try and see what is needed to boot the latest Slarm64.
Hey my reply took even longer than yours. Ultra slow motion communication...
