Kali Linux for Pinebook Pro

[shindagger]

Hi team,

Sorry if this has been brought up. I received my Pinebook Pro this morning and I've been trawling to try and find the answer to this issue.

I've flashed the latest Kali Linux image for Pinebook Pro from Offensive Security using the PINE 64 Installer to an SD card, but when I try to boot from it I simply get a flashing cursor for a few seconds before the screen goes unexpectedly black and remains that way. 

If I then power off the machine I get just the briefest glimpse of the Kali login screen before it shuts down. It's quite maddening to know that it appears to be running, I just can't see it. Has anybody else had this and can maybe point me towards a solution?

Thank you very much!

Hi I was stuck here too. You can cntrl alt f1 to switch virtual consoles.. i was able to access a shell prompt at f1-f6 and the WM at f7. 

However, the keyboard and touchpad dont work in the WM. it records what i type and  stuff, but you can't see it until you leave the virtual console and come back.
