Hi,

I spent several days experimenting with my HoneyComb and two GPUs
(GeForce GTX 1070 and Radeon R9 270X) left from the previously built
desktops. Results have been mostly disappointing so far. Take a look:

- both GPUs are discoverable on the PCI bus;
- graphics/drm-510-kmod + graphics/gpu-firmware-amd-kmod (pitcairn
  flavor) allow me to load firmware and attach drmn0;
- neither graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod nor x11/nvidia-driver cannot be used
  on aarch64, it seems;
- xorg + kde5 start, but have some really annoying graphics glitches;
- xorg + xfce4 start as well, but graphics glitches make it impossible
  to use at all.

Does anyone use HoneyComb as a desktop? If so, which GPU/driver?

Regards,
Dmitry
