Dear Maintainer, Hello there, Debian on rpi4 with GUI, I have tried Gnome/Xfce/Sway, all for me have the same issues: (I am using rpi4 with 8GB RAM, as a daily desktop machine, so I use it heavily, 24/7 it's running) Maine Issues: * Some Application, I can't maximize and restore them (firefox-esr, chromium) unless I enforce them to use wayland. * Some application, I can't use them at all, can't open/can't run properly (gimp), but when using the beta release, it works, as it uses wayland by default. * Freezing/locks up frequently, which is very annoying. I am actually a Fedora user, but after recently bad news from Redhat regarding the binary source of RHEL, I decided to move on. Fedora 37/38 works just fine and smoothly on rpi4, specifically after the hardware GPU acceleration driver supports has reached mainline/upstream kernel "v3d", so I thought that means, debian should do the same. I noticed in Fedora, they have 'firmware' updated and has 'overlays', and in their config.txt "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4", so I have decided to give that a try on debian after I talk to "gwolf". All the above issues have solved by the following: * I downloaded the latest (firmware-1.20230405) , unzipped it. * Copied "firmware-1.20230405/boot/overlays" folder to /boot/firmware/ * Added these lines to /etc/default/raspi-firmware-custom ``````````````````````` # Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4 dtoverlay=cma,cma-256 max_framebuffers=2 # Disable compensation for displays with overscan disable_overscan=1 ``````````````````````` * Reload raspi-firmware package: dpkg-reconfigure raspi-firmware * Then reboot the system. Thank you so much all.
