New Builds from ayufan (0.8.X) w Video/3D/Mate desktop

[rhens1]

I have now tried the ROCK64 MATE 0.8.0rc10 on my ROCK64 4GB SBC.  I still had the GPU error followed by 'apport' trying hundreds of attempts to stop a crash.  In short it crashed, total stop.  I could ping the unit, but there was no SSH available for any remote connection.  I went back to the rc9 update and although the display wouldn't sync with the  GPU, I had an open SSH where I could PUTTY into the unit and start a remote VNC.  With the rc10, apport recycled the machine to go over each core and I believe from the displayed hexadecimal arrays and page faults ran out of memory.  Instead of trying to fix the problem on the run a few default settings might help.  Also, RPi has 86 preset HDMI_MODES from which to chose with MATE.  I would hazard a guess that 0.8.0rc10 would work just fine at 50Hz and bomb at 60Hz.  Any thoughts?  BTW, Ayufan is great.

The rc10 mate desktop works here, ROCK64 4GB. 

Only tried on EMMC card

Good info.  I used a fast thumb drive, SanDisk.  Some programs are on 120 GB SSDs but most of my trials are imaged on thumbdrives or USBs with microSDs.  I'll try an rc10 image on a microSD and insert this into a USB holder.  It may be an imaging problem, but I have done this many times without a problem.  Could the problem be uboot?  I may go ahead and get an EMMC.  What display did you use.  Can you tell me if it is possibly 720P on HDMI or composite signal?  Maybe you have hit on something  Thanks!  Any comments regarding the EMMCs?  My builds are usually greater than 50GB.  That is the reason for uboot and SSDs ... I'm cheap.
