FYI, audio on PineTab should be fixed with the latest update, an `apt upgrade` should bring you the latest improvements.

I'm really grateful for all the work you're doing!
@ a-wai Thank you for your work on Mobian. I like it!
When it comes to overall performance, did you reach the end of the HW capability or is there a space for improvement? For example Firefox is usable but laggy.

So far, I've managed to get out of Phosh, by doing `systemctl disable phosh.service', and rebooting. That got me to a console prompt. I then installed Sway, and tried to run it, which resulted in the message `DRM universal planes unsupported'. I know nothing about Wayland, so I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated. I've made progress on Sway/Mobian. I thought that it might be a lack of Mesa (OpenGL) packages, so I installed as many as I could find. Still no joy. Then for some reason I checked libwayland-egl1-mesa. After installing that, Sway started up very nicely. In portrait mode, alas. Fortunately, the wlr-randr command can fix that (wlr-randr --output DSI-1 --transform 270). I don't know what the minimal fix for Sway is, but this got me going.
You should be able to use a similar approach to install other window managers, as long as they support Wayland.

Would you mind writing a quick guide on getting sway going? I would really like to see a desktop environment on the tablet at the moment. I haven't done enough with it yet to justify doing a guide. I hope by next week to have some more, and will post accordingly.

This morning I found out by accident that hitting the pine-button and an arrow during startup (I was trying to turn off the keyboard LED's), results in the entire boot process being displayed
Since I have a habit of removing the options quiet and splash from the grub config on desktop installs, I like to see what's happening during startup, is there any way to make this permanent in Mobian?

Can - in phosh - the orientation "landscape" made sticky on reboot?
After sleep the orientation "landscape" is heads down and could only be restored with switching back to portrait and then to landscape again?
Another question: Is there any possibilty to enable "auto login" in phosh?

Missing functions:
- bluetooth adapter not recognized
Any workarounds or settings for this?
I second firefox-58's question, anybody know of a way to make landscape mode sticky after reboot?
This may be related, but I downloaded the most recent image, DD'd it to a micro SD card and booted to it. It is working fine, but how do I install it to the eMMC?
Perhaps the PMOS "Boot Strap Method" that is gaining popularity. ?
Fairly easy steps to follow.
