Manjaro instability

(10-17-2019, 07:28 AM)DAMO238 Wrote: I have tried a few different versions of manjaro-arm for pinebook, all of which seem to have the same problem, whenever you boot, or the screen turns off for any reason, there is a very low chance that the screen will display anything (but the backlight may still be on). This typically happens after the initial `pacman -Syu`. I have never had any trouble with manjaro on other devices (x86_64), so I am unsure of what I am doing wrong. I really like using manjaro (mainly for its package manager, AUR and ease of use), but it just doesn't seem to work. This problem occurs on both on sd card and on emmc. I cannot enter a tty when it is in this state (or at least, I can't see them) and the only way out is to force it off and start it up again as many times as it takes to make sure it stays on.

I also have this problem (running the i3 env).  I haven't much figured anything out yet, but I HAVE noticed that after I have the issue, if I see an underscore ( "_" ) in the top left of the screen after all of the boot messages/module loading happens, then I know everything will be fine.  I haven't yet determined if the machine successfully boots after the gfx issue, or if the boot process halts.
