No, it means that anything based on SunXi won't have graphical display support and will require a serial console.

Redsleeve is nothing to do with this, I suggest you go and speak to who ever maintains it, it's completely off topic. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
