Manjaro 20.1 gnome - 14ARE05 Lenovo - Starting requires pkill x

[manajarog]

hello fellas,

i am quite new to Linux and are running into a problem with my Lenovo 14ARE05.
I know this device had several problems due to its new release but AFAIK most of them are solved.
That’s why i decided to switch to Linux, cause i really dislike Windows

My Problem:
after a cold start or a restart, i get to a black screen with a cursor("_") on the top left blinking. I have to switch to a second tty with CTRL+ALT+F2 and manually pkill x. Then, when i switch back to the first tty with CTRL+ALT+F1, the login screen loads and i can use the Laptop without any problems.

I really have no idea how to fix it.

linux59 is a dev version kernels ,
can you add linux version5.8

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux58 linux58-headers 

[manajarog]

same problem with linux 5.8.6

here i did not have to pkill x, i simply switch to tty2 and switch back to tty1 and it loads x. i will try this on 5.9.1 aswell.

EDIT: yeah as i thought, there is no need to pkill x or anything else, i simply switch to TTY2, wait a second and switch back to TTY1 and the login screen appears.
