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)?
