PI3
Hi All,
I downloaded:
http://mirror.CentOS.org/altarch/7/isos/armhfp/
for the PI3
This article says the PI3 runs X. http://news.softpedia.com/news/CentOS-7-linux-officially-released-for-raspberry-pi-2-banana-pi-and-cubietruck-497891.shtml
When I groupinstall Gnome desktop and reboot, then run startx I get an error about no screens found.
Whats the trick to get X on the PI3?
Thanks,
Jerry

X does not work in CentOS on the PI .. the drivers required to make it work are proprietary.
Yikes… What sense does that make??? (rhetorical really)
So does that mean we have to install a binary driver like an NVIDIA driver set?
If so where is that located ?
I have not found it.
Thanks,
Jerry
Well, nothing on our (CentOS) side claims that X was working. Technically a lot of pkgs were built, but all images are minimal. If you’re intestested into armhfp/aarch64, can you consider subscribing to the dedicated arm-dev list
(https://lists.CentOS.org/mailman/listinfo/arm-dev) and start a thread there ?
I don’t remember if someone already tried to have X working on such armhfp boards (with CentOS pkgs that is)
