An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
Hi there,
I've got up-to-date installation on my eMMC:

root@joyce> uname -a
Linux joyce.n1.pinyon.org 5.5.0-1-pinebookpro-arm64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 22 17:10:06 UTC 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I few weeks ago I futzed around with a variety of window managers because my 25 year partner, FVWM, is just too slow.  I settled on MATE.  Looks pretty good, but somehow X stopped working.  The current error in /var/log/Xorg.1.log is:

[  1513.672] (II) event1  - gpio-keys: device is a switch device
[  1515.715] (EE)

[  1515.716] (II) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch
[  1515.742] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

This is root running 'startx'.

As you can see from the timestamp it actually gets really far.  The full MATE desktop
is visible for about 1s before crashing.  When I was exploring window managers
I did quite a bit of inadvertant uninstalls of lower level X/gl/mesa sorts of packages,
but I have been extremely diligant about searching for  something missing, or a conflict, and I can't find it.

So I am hoping someone has an idea.

Thanks!

So after post I discovered the topic "mesa-git build script for latest panfrost", ran the script, and ran startx and up came the desktop.

Hooray!
