Raspbit do you have longsleeps pine repos in your apt sources?

cat /etc/apt/sources.lst

I just added this one to install sunxi-tool:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:longsleep/ubuntu-pine64-flavour-makers

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sunxi-disp-tool

[lenny.raposo-pine64.pro]

ok here is the list of the packages available

https://launchpad.net/~longsleep/+archiv...our-makers

now simple do a sudo apt-get install package_name

Wrong (as usual) since package names there do not match necessarily. When do you start reading through the threads you post to? When do you start providing correct information? When do you start adding correct information to the blank pages at pine64.pro you call a FAQ? When do you stop recommending useless/counterproductive workarounds?

you should try to be nice for once... i'm sure you can like this.
why the aggressive tone in almost every post ?

I'd like to get a better graphics performance but I have no idea how, could you guide me through the process?

[lenny.raposo-pine64.pro]

sudo -i
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo libump libcedrus1 libvdpau-sunxi1 sunxi-disp-tool

[rdPine64]

sudo -i
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo libump libcedrus1 libvdpau-sunxi1 sunxi-disp-tool

OK I have all this installed however I don't see anything like fbturbo using the mail module after install reboot and following instructions?

ubuntu@localhost:~$ lsmod

What else do we need to get the fbturbo xserver accelerate?

Thanks

Why do you think lsmod is a valid tool to check if fbturbo does use mali - it is not. Fbturbo does not use mali as of now (no working mali_drm module available in BSP) - check your xorg log to see the reasons and for accelleration details. Also, if you have installed my package from my PPA then you probably still need an xorg configuration. Its all described in the fbturbo docs - or if you are not interested in the details just use: https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...sh#L24-L32

Pine64 SoC temperature is stable at around 70C while decoding HEVC 1080p (without a heat sink, no enclosure).

For easy mplayer launches with the correct parameters feel free to use https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...er-play.sh


I will not support this overly much, but it confirms that the BSP Kernel has everything which is needed to use the media decoder in the Pine64.

To be more precise: tested with calibrated instrument: 75degC.
Looks like heat sink will be needed anyway
