(xorg) Video driver?
#1
I recently installed Manjaro (minimal) to the nvme on my Pinebook and it works great. I would like to setup xorg but I'm not sure which video driver the Pinebook needs? I read it uses Mali GPU, which means nothing to me.

Edi: Well the framebuffer one works apparently. I'm actually really surprised that I have to use the framebuffer driver.

You can install one of the GUI-based images to an SD card (so that you don't have to overwrite your NVMe Manjaro install), boot it up, and have a look at how it's configured. `lspci -vvv` is a good place to start; it'll tell you what kernel module it's using for the GPU.

I booted up sway in Armbian and used lspci and apparently it was using the framebuffer, but might take another look because I didn't use the -vvv flags/switches
