when I used it in pine A64 2GB board the HDMI screen gets greenish. All the colors are distorted. Screen becomes normal only when DRM is activated.
But system is lagging and videos cant be played in VLC or SMplayer when DRM is activated.
To me the only benefit of this OS over other linux distros is that it can play full screen videos within chromium browser.
Is this the usual behaviour of this distro?
Is this OS image only for pinebook?
I'm glad you said green, I thought it was just my monitor being stupid... (was doing some stuff with pine64 and HDMI the other week and getting a green console)
Normal 2D performance does appear to suffer when the DRM mode is enabled on the pinebook, so since this is the same SoC we're talking about, I would expect the same on the pine64. Most of the work is geared towards the pinebook, but if you downloaded an image with pine64 in it's name instead of pinebook, you are running a pine64 image. Does it only affect the console for you, or is it even the desktop environment? If it's the latter, that isn't expected behaviour! :-O
