Do you or anyone know if gpm works on these rpi touchscreens in console-tty?
And/Or question 2:
F29 aarch are .xz, need I have fedora installed say x86-64, to have dnf (?) to write the aarch image for rpi 3 B+?
Or, is there a writable .iso available instead of the f29.aarch.xz?

Hi Folks,
Longtime Fedora user here. Last winter, I got a Raspberry Pi, and
installed F28 on it. Using the HDMI output, it works well. Recently, I
picked up the Raspberry Pi 7" display (and case). After hooking up the
display to the Pi via the ribbon cable, I booted it up.
The 7" display works well as the initial console, and I see all the
usual messages go flying by. At some point (when it decides to switch
to graphics mode) the display goes blank. Nothing on it. I cannot
switch even to a virtual console. The new case blocks using the HDMI
port, so I had to remove the Pi from the case (while leaving the ribbon
cable attached to the display). After plugging a monitor into the HDMI
port, what I discovered was that the Pi boots using the display as
console, then switches to the HDMI port for the X11 driver. (not useful)
How can I get the X11 display to come up on the 7" display in graphics
mode. What do I need? A new xorg-x11-drv driver? A newer kernel?
I'd like to turn this into a MythTV server (with a USB capture) and use
the display as a system console with the ability to watch videos on it.
(Yeah, I'm aware that its only a 800x400 screen.) Failing that, I'd
like to use it in a "tablet" mode and get used to the touch screen
interface.
