X11 crashing plus solution

[Neko May]

There's an issue with Panfrost and Mesa 19.3 that causes X11 to crash in "OsLookupColor" which you may run into on Armbian on RK3399 devices; it can be solved by enabling the experimental branch in your /etc/apt/sources.list by adding the following line:

 

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian experimental main contrib non-free

 

You can then run 'apt update' and install experimental branch packages with 'apt -t experimental install <package>'. To fix the crash in X11, update the following from experimental:

libegl-mesa0
libgbm1
libgl1-mesa-dri
libglapi-mesa
libglx-mesa0
mesa-va-drivers
mesa-vdpau-drivers
mesa-vulkan-drivers

This should allow X11 to run properly.
