Issue with accelerated graphics on Buster

[gpsamu]

Hello. New Novena owner here. I received my system yesterday and immediately went through the procedure to upgrade to Buster. I should note that I did hit the issue which was since addressed in https://github.com/novena-next/docs/issues/22 Prior to the upgrade, I confirmed that accelerated graphics (glxgears) seemed to work well. However, now I observe some strange behaviour with glxgears.

When I execute it, it opens a window, but it remains blank (black). Running with debug enabled I see:

root@novena-one:~/glmark2/build/src# LIBGL_DEBUG=​verbose glxgears libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /root/.drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/tls/etnaviv_dri.so libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dri/etnaviv_dri.so libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /root/.drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /root/.drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /etc/drirc: No such file or directory. libGL: Can't open configuration file /root/.drirc: No such file or directory.

Seems to be an underlying issue however:

Have anybody here encountered anything similar?

Update -

Moving to the beta 4.13 kernel has somewhat mitigated the issue. However the Novena screen goes blank when I connect to my HDMI monitor now. I'm wondering if this has to do with a botched update to Buster?

Hmm, I haven't hit this issue. Are you sure you have all the packages installed, including the xorg armada and xorg config?

I started the upgrade procedure on a clean install using the original Novena image. The graphics work properly now. I have both 2D and 3D acceleration working.

I'm glad!
