Package: linux-signed-arm64
Version: 5.10.70+1
Version: 5.14.9+2~bpo11+1
The 'panfrost' driver for the variety of Mali graphics devices requires a GPU
scaling governor to be available. Either this version of the source has not yet
been patched, or the patch only affects a statically bound governor. In any
case, In the above versions, I've had to define the dependency myself.
(governor_simpleondemand <- gpu_sched <- panfrost, but neither panfrost or
gpu_sched explicitly depends on governor_simpleondemand)
In the original case -- the device is Pinebook Pro -- initialization of
'panfrost' would fail repeatedly, causing Xorg to fail to detect the panfrost
device and start with LLVMpipe graphics device. Only after reloading panfrost
(remove + install) and restarting the desktop manager, would panfrost be
detected.
A (temporary) fix would be a 'modprobe.d' config file with the line: `softdep
panfrost pre: governor_simpleondemand`.
This ensures that panfrost initializes successfully on early init.
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate package to report this bug on. So
please correct if necessary.
Kind regards
PS: I had to type the 'softdep' line from memory, so please read over it once
to check for silly typos.
