First images with DRM and Mali support for A64

[Luke]

Ok, clean installed the latest version, enabled Mali, maybe Tux Racer has a little higher fps,but it is not smooth yet.

Noticed that window title is a little distorted in LXQt session with Openbox WM.

There are many issues with the image - particularly on the Pinebook. But its a start. Also, Tux Racer may not use mali unless you compile it to do so.

Wizzard... I reported that in the IRC last night (and you can see some screenshots attached of what the sound preferences looks like when it's not working OOTB).  I thought it was package related, but it looks like it wasn't... it seems the group change I made didn't take effect until I rebooted. Run "sudo usermod -aG audio pine64" and reboot, and your sound will work again

With respect to glmark2-es2 results, on the pinebook on a 0.5.x release I got the following results (just for giggles) - a score of 19:

On the 0.7.2 after running sudo pine64_enable_sunxidrm.sh and rebooting to let the changes take effect, I got a score of 29 on one pass, and 27 on a second, and it looks like one test fails completely atm. Not a bat start for the first pass of MALI/DRM, and considering this is a pre-release image!

Now head over and click the paypal (ayufan@osk-net.pl) in his signature and buy him a beer

Done by me - now Ayufan can buy some cool drinks.
Now its on you ;-)

New image (0.7.3) with improvements to stability and performance is out

[Wizzard]

Good, I will try to update my 16.10.

How are you guys going about installing a desktop? "Sudo apt-get install Ubuntu-Desktop"?

IIRC there is an install script in /usr/local/sbin

Code:

sudo /usr/local/sbin/install_desktop.sh

[Wizzard]

Great, so I upgraded to zesty by do-release-upgrade, everything went well until first reboot after upgrade. There was just non-blinking cursor on top left and no key was responding. So I am flashing 0.7.3 fresh.
