Hello Community,
I've already opened a Thread, concerning my issues with the Rock64, however there are similar issues with my Pine A64-LTS aswell. Altough I've used the bsp-Kernel variants, everything is laggy and choppy, even though I expected at least the xenial MATE build to work properly. The intended use is inside a self-made Tablet and while this could bring up the conlusion, that I want it to have Android, I don’t. My preferred choice is Linux, even better if I could use GNOME 3 on it (also my touch screen wasnt supported by Android and it was slow for whatever reason aswell.). Like in my Rock64 Thread, GNOME 3 showed llvmpipe as graphics device (backchecking with the system-monitor confirmed that it was software rendering) so that was unusable. I really love this board for the fact, that it has battery support and decent perfomance on paper, that I couldn’t see in real life yet, so how can I improve this. Also a problem that is just as big, is the fact that I can’t change resolution propery. Most images provide 1080p. What I need for this screen is 1024x600. Trying to change that in the config file always resulted in black screen/weird distortion, same with 720p. Only Armbian provided an usable 720p config. I hope for help from you guys to at least finallize this project from the software side.
Greetings, Max
