Panfrost is the kernel driver, no need for configuration, it's always active.
If you just install GNOME desktop via tasksel, everything works out of the box.
GNOME uses Wayland. X11 might be harder to configure with acceleration.

Intresting I wasn't aware that the debian packages now have wayland -- last time I checked it wasn't avaliable. I'll give that a go although I'm not really a gnome user; can wayland+kde be installed via a similar method?

Update: I tried gnome but window resizing still seems slooooow....x.x

Update 2: I did get wayland to work with KDE, but it crashes all the time!

I think gdm 3 ist required in order to use GNOME on Wayland. As I installed just GNOME in the first place, it was enabled automatically.
