Ok thanks there. Mind you their kernel is the older 5.x branch, so I'm kinda in two minds about that. ljones

OK I've actually found the crux of the issue, though I haven't tried to figure out specifically what causes it yet. I ordered another Dumb TypeC->DP adapter cuz I figured there might be a bridge in my last one that was messing things up. It did the same thing with the messed up colors and shifted image. Then I remembered I have a typeC dock that's smart and has a DP port and it works fine. Checking Dmesg I noticed the dock sets up link training for 2 lanes @ 8.1Ghz. The dumb adapters with the bad color train 4 lanes at 2.7Ghz because that's what my display advertises. The Orange Pi5 Plus manual states: 1 x Type-C (DP 1.4A) output, up to 4K@60FPS To meet that bandwidth it needs to supply either 4 DP lanes @ HBR2 or 2 DP lanes @ HBR3. I reprogrammed My display's bridge (it's custom) to advertise only 2 DP lanes at 2.7Ghz. Now that's what the Opi does and the image is perfectly fine. So I think what happens here is the Orange Pi 5 may not actually have 4 lanes to supply over type C but it's configured so that it will try if requested. The 2 lanes of DP it can supply are incomplete as they are expecting to be merged with the other 2. When using a smart typeC dock, it intercepts the display's DPCD report and says "I only have 2 lanes at HBR3 so that's what I want". On a Type C dock with USB ports it's not possible to pull 4 lanes out of the host connection because the other 2 lanes have to be used for USB3.x. So basically the Opi has to be told the sink only has 2 lanes or it will screw up when it delivers 4 lanes and can't. I assume that's the correct assessment cuz I can plug this thing into any other PC with a real DP or type C alt and the color is fine, reporting 4 lanes over DPCD. I assume this is probably a device tree thing, I'll update the git issue on Opi's kernel repo, just figured it'd be good to let anyone trying to use it what might be going on.

Hello, I have a MXQ Pro 5G 4K TV Box with Allwinner H616 and the motherboard IK316-EMCP_V4.1. I am looking for a server (CLI only) version of the Armbian image for this device. The previously shared Google Drive links in this topic are no longer working. Could someone please provide a new download link (Google Drive, MEGA, etc.) for the latest server image compatible with my device? If there are any specific instructions for booting or the correct DTB file, please let me know. Thank you very much! Best regards, Luska1331 BTW: I generated this message with the help of Copilot because I don't speak English very well.

Difficult to say how to fix without further logs. What I am looking into and what it could possibly be related to is the simpledrm module loading alongside sun4i-drm. I wonder if you remove simpledrm then does the cursor become less erratic? Without diverging to far off topic, I suspect this related to sun4i-gpadc and how the temperature sensor is polled is carried out. The 6.12 Hdmi patches are a backport of the changes found in 6.15.

Ok, maybe @jock has some suggestions to this issue.
