I see below you saying are based on the 3.16 kernel? From:
Yes, at the moment Fedora 21 GA is currently scheduled to be based on
3.16, as a result that is what we are planning on.
So this means that anything SunXi adds will not make it into F21 GA? I am
just trying to understand the process. I am willing to test with what I
have and report test results.
No, it means that anything based on SunXi won't have graphical display
support and will require a serial console. As I've mentioned before
it's still a useful device for numerous use cases.
I see listed the 3.17 kernel, though addins for the A20 is not needed by
me.
But what concerns me, and I know it is out of control of this group, is
that
my reading of this page is Video support is HARD and there is no listed
work
in progress?
You're right.... it is hard and it'll only work on Fedora when it
lands upstream.... when ever that may be. Until that time the
AllWinner devices will only be supported as headless devices. That
doesn't mean they are not useful for dozens of different use cases.
And I DO have some of those as well. That is headless device applications.
If so, what can I expect on Video support on my Cubieboard 2, or am I
just
doing something wrong with the xfce build? And I am trying to get vnc
server working so I can at least test out the video components installed
are
working, but I can't get vnc-server up in this systemd mode; pointers
would
be appreciated. I followed one tutorial on F20 and it worked for a
while,
then stopped.
You can't expect Video on your Cubieboard 2 any time soon. We've been
over the status of video support on the AllWinner devices with you on
a number of occasions, asking a dozen different ways on a dozen
different threads isn't going to change that outcome.
I won't argue the number of times; pointless other than I know I am causing
you a level of frustration. Sorry. I am checking that I understand the
process and what to expect and what to watch for and where I might be able
to contribute testing time.
If you need direct graphics on a ARM device I suggest you get a different
device.
armv7, min 1Gb memory, Sata support, under $100? Please tell me what other
devices I should consider? I have gleaned the few lists that I have
followed for discussion on devices. I have read the list of supported
devices for F21 and in most cases went to the device site to see what it
offered. But I know I can miss things.
I'd probably look at any of the low end i.MX6 devices. We're hoping to
get graphics support for most of them by F-21 GA.
I read this comment that it does not work yet, but will before F21 GA.
I will watch this then.
In terms of vnc I have no idea what you're doing
wrong, others have had it work without issue, and you seem to have at
some point. What about remote X forwarding over ssh?
After I complete some Redsleeve testing (what I will be using on my first
production units I ordered Monday), I will try a few more things with the
latest builds. I don't remember when I last did remote X over SSH; so I
will have to do some reading as I have pretty much done VNC over SSH
tunneling.
Redsleeve is nothing to do with this, I suggest you go and speak to
who ever maintains it, it's completely off topic.
Poorly worded on my part. I did not mean that Redsleeve has anything to
do over here. Just that I have a RSEL test running right now. As soon
as I can take a break on that, I will go back to Fedora and test more
with it.
