Everything worked as well as it's going to for kernel versions up through v5.10.0. When I boot on v5.11.0, "lightdm" starts, the screen goes blank as usual, I get a mouse pointer as usual, and shortly after that, the system locks up solid (completely nonresponsive except for being able to ping it -- can't login remotely). Recovery is via the reset switch at that point :-(. (...)Same results for 5.12.0-rc4 kernel.
I think the only feasible way of determining what has happened here is that you track the offending change down by bisecting the upstream kernel repository with `git bisect'. Once you have it someone may help, either the author of the change, or the relevant maintainer, or someone else at [off-list ref]. Maciej
