Hi Guys,
I just did a new custom Armbian build  ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepi5-plus BRANCH=vendor RELEASE=noble KERNEL_ONLY=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no.
The image is Armbian-unofficial_25.11.0-trunk_Orangepi5-plus_noble_vendor_6.1.115_cinnamon_desktop and when I installed it on orangepi I see it is not supporting Panfrost/Mail:
glxinfo | grep -E "OpenGL renderer|OpenGL version"
OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 20.1.2, 128 bits) OpenGL version string: 4.5 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 25.0.7-0ubuntu0.24.04.2

but for older image Old_Armbian-unofficial_25.08.0-trunk_Orangepi5-plus_noble_vendor_6.1.115_cinnamon_desktop All was well
glxinfo | grep -E "OpenGL renderer|OpenGL version"
OpenGL renderer string: Mali-G610 (Panfrost) OpenGL version string: 3.1 Mesa 25.0.7-0ubuntu0.24.04.2 

I did need to enable "ARM Mail Display Processor" under Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> ARM devices before I perform custom build.
And I did this for both OS version 25.11.0 and 25.08.0.
But newer version is not able to use it.
Thanks
