In my site (http://moinejf.free.fr/opi2/), you may find: - the HDMI driver - to be built out of tree - the DT files (sun8i-h3.dtsi and sun8i-h3-orangepi-plus.dts) which should be close enough to the A64 - my .config (config-4.5.txt) The driver has no video overlay and no acceleration. The frame buffer (console) works (with a blinking cursor!). X11 works fine with the standard modesetting driver (default). There is just a problem with the HDMI driver. For unknown reason, sometimes, the EDID cannot be read (timeout - this problem also exists with the kernel 3.4). The remedy is power off / power on (of the board, not of the screen!). I am using the u-boot from Allwinner. This one activates the video engine, but everything is reset at kernel start time. About the GPU/VPU, I have no need of them, so I will let this job to specialists and, instead, have a look at audio... -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** Jef | http://moinejf.free.fr/ _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
