Arch-Manjaro attempting gles2 setup
#3
Yes Luke I spoke with Strit. He's not too talkative. What I gathered for those interested in running this board on opengl es is that the lima driver is in very rough shape.
Memory page errors and core dumps is what it gives mostly on gles. X is ok but slow. Bottom line is for gles to work alot of the base packages like QT5 have to be compiled for it. That requires a dev or user with the knowledge and hardware to get that giant pkg built right. Strit built like 3 qt ones and called it a day I guess. Also Qt first needs a solid mesa version and mali-lima-kernel support and the combo looks like a bad one. I read the panfrost is in better shape than lima. Also, If one looks in the qt-base pkg under the mkspecs you will find configs for rpi and a dozen or so others. Nothing close to a rk3328 chip config in there to work with.

I'm disappointed that this is the case but I didn't lose alot of money so it is what it is. Nobody really to blame. State of the art thing.
Hope this info helps somebody down the road with the same goal. A fast pretty desktop on a cheap quad core SBC.
