to add this line to /boot/armbianEnv.txt
 
extraargs="video=1280x720@60"
 

Hello Everyone, I would like to share my experience about how to boot Orange Pi almost silently in console mode (eliminate a lot of kernel messages on startup) without desktop and remove cursor blinking that can cause black rectangle appearing over white background, when painting to framebuffer. Many options that proposed as being able to reduce kernel messages on boot didn't work for me. So based on Armbian documentation I started to experience with armbianEnv.txt file in the /boot folder. The extraargs setting was not part of the default armbianEnv.txt file, but appeared in BOOT.CMD file. The setting
 
extraargs=vt.global_cursor_default=0 quiet
 
solved both above problems. Hope this will be helpful for somebody else.

Aight, will do. I'll edit here once its finished.

I do not have this board so I cannot test that.
I create a new image with generic joystick support and added all available models as modules. Let me know if it works.

Did a quick check. xpad module seems to be missing in sunxi kernel configs while it is present in rk* und some other. I'll look into

I must say I am very satisfied with Armbian. Using it as my primary OS now. Just the graphics acceleration is not perfect yet (Retroarch, PP Racer etc.), but it is really usable. Keep on good work!
