When booting a working version I can see backlight, some traces etc. None of these is visible when booting 5.10 official kernel from Debian repository as if display would be physically disconnected from the mainboard.
I will try also to play with firmware packages to see if it helps.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work. I installed:
- linux-image-arm64 (and its dependences linux-image-5.10.0-7-arm64, firmware-linux-free)
- firmware-linux (and its dependences firmware-amd-graphics, firmware-misc-nonfree)
But the result is the same.
Additional note: When booting Manjaro, which does boot to GUI, it shows traces about misconfigured DP port. I am not sure if it matters or is related.
I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing this. I have been pulling my hair out for over two weeks trying different combinations. I posit it's a problem with the laptop monitor--it's not detected, maybe that's what you mean by DisplayPort? One thing I haven't tried is video out from a USB-C stick, but I'm not sure what that will prove. Regardless, there is a bug here but I'm not sure where--the kernel?
