If yes, then I'd start troubleshooting by trying `startx` command, which should be a part of `xinit` package.
Thank you for the info! I can only get serial console access, I don't get any output to the laptop screen. I see the GPU is recognized (mali driver etc) and I have a /dev/dri/card0 endpoint, but startx complains no screens can be found (same with GDM and friends). Specifically it says /dev/fb0 does not exist, but I can't confirm or deny that is something important (may not be needed in newer versions).
Did you have to change any X settings? Can you paste your boot cmdline (append line in extlinux)?
