When I got the MusePi Pro it came pre flashed so I tested the install. I don't recall it having an amazing DE experience. Not sure about the GPU but like most SBC's I wouldn't expect great things in that department. Which makes me wonder about the MuseBook.

Hi @maxsub, no, thats a normal image. Hacking is the looong filename: Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_trixie_edge_6.18.8_minimal+Orangepirv2_1.0.0_ubuntu_noble_desktop_gnome_linux6.6.63.img.xz

In your downloads site, does this one have the GPU hack? Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Orangepirv2_trixie_current_6.6.99_minimal.img. I can do some testing. Thank you.

Continued GPU hacks. I uploaded a medley from Armbian (uboot,kernel) plus OrangePi-Ubuntu-Noble (userspace) from downloaded Xunlong image to my https://privat-in.de site (-> Downloads, grab Armbian+OrangePi.img.xz). Root PW is "orangepi" and it has 3 scripts /boot/boot-6.x.x to switch kernels between 6.6.36-ky, 6.6.99 and 6.18.x (both from Armbian). While the original "ky" kernel has GPU support (instantly visible with the Gnome GUI reacting < 2 seconds), the Armbian kernels have no GPU. Turns out: the kernel DRM driver name needs to be "rvdisplay" instead of "spacemit". This works at least with Armbian-Stable-6.6.99, while Armbian-Edge-6.18.x probably needs further kicking. The Armbian kernels have the following (prelim) change: --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/spacemit/spacemit_drm.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/spacemit/spacemit_drm.c @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ #include "spacemit_dmmu.h" #include "spacemit_gem.h" -#define DRIVER_NAME "spacemit" +#define DRIVER_NAME "rvdisplay" #define DRIVER_DESC "Spacemit SoCs' DRM Driver" #define DRIVER_MAJOR 1 #define DRIVER_MINOR 0 Note, that Xorg has no GPU, the GPU stuff only works with Wayland (gnome-shell + mutter). Also: no luck with that Bianbu-Linux. It's damn slow Gnome (slower that OrangePi with Software rendering) and none of the kernels brings the GPU to live (even the original Bianbu kernel with a orangepirv2 DTB does not work). @c0rnelius Bananapi R3 and Musepi Pro have working GPU?
