The 5.31 desktop image seems to run well, however I have a small issue : the mouse cursor is invisible... I tried to add Option "HWCursor" "false" to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf under the pointer section, but it does not work. Is there a workaround ? Edit : nevermind, I found the workaround : 1- reinstall xorg : apt-get -y install xorg lightdm xfce4 tango-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme 2- add Option "HWCursor" "false" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-fbturbo.conf

Oh, nice, thanks for the link ! Honestly it is the first time I'm trying to use AP mode on this board. Perhaps you are right and it is not supported. I will try to check that. Thank you !

Hi, I own the first Orange Pi (A20, VGA, HDMI, NAND, 4xUSB, WiFi). I notice there is no Armbian image for download anymore. The last one I still have is a 3.4.113, 5.25 Ubuntu/Xenial-default-desktop (currently running from the NAND very well, but I can't seem to run the wifi in AP mode). Is Armbian for this board is dropped for good ? Is there a way to update my 5.25 to last version without breaking everything ? Or maybe convert a A20 image to this board, using the working image I'm currently using ? Thanks !

Hi, I own several SPI touch displays, and I would like to use them with armbian. I got the displays to work already, but I'm now trying to get the touchpanels to work also. I'm using Debian Jessie Server Legacy 5.20 with a BananaPro board. I tried to add the module to /etc/modules : ads7846_device gpio_pendown=17 cs=1 x_plate_ohms=400 pressure_max=255 swap_xy=0 ads7846 ... does not work, I don't even see an error in dmesg. I also tried to put the options in a /etc/modprobe.d/ads7846.conf, /etc/modprobe.d/ads7846_device.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/fbtft_device.conf but nothing works. Manual modprobe : modprobe ads7846 loads fine (I could see it in lsmod), but modprobe ads7846_device gpio_pendown=17 cs=1 x_plate_ohms=400 pressure_max=255 swap_xy=0 returns modprobe: FATAL: Module ads7846_device not found. Do you have an idea ? Thank you !

Hi Igor, happy new year ! I finally got the time to make more tests. I'm working with a Banana Pi M1, a freshly downloaded 4.5 Jessie Legacy image, and your script. Once installed, I replace /boot/script.bin with lemaker's banana_pi_35lcd.bin. After a reboot, display is working fine. apt-get install python-pygame apt-get install python-bs4 python-requests python-pywapi python-dev python-pip And nothing else. With your script set on fb0, I get the screenshot I linked above. Reboot needed to reset the display. Pygame detects a 320x240 framebuffer, which is normal. With your script set on fb1, I get nothing but a non-blinking cursor. Pygame detects a 800x480 framebuffer, it sounds strange to me. With a HDMI display only (original script.bin) and your script set on fb0, you are right, pygame / your script are working fine from CLI. I also checked the board / display / cable using an old (but working) image, and pygame is running fine on it. What else could I do ? Try your image with my old / working script.bin, to check lemaker's bin file itself ? (Not working) Try with a SPI display (not really my goal but I have a few) ?

I'm using lemaker's FEX settings, so I don't think they are the problem. On your previous images (before Armbian), I could install a basic LXDE and then use a xinit script to launch a pygame script "from CLI", because pygame was not woking from CLI directly on the framebuffer. This is not working anymore, I don't know why. Strangely, I have the same issue with various displays and various boards, including the Raspberry Pi with Adafruit's display on recent images (including a fresh image).

Hi Igor, thanks for your answer. According to you, running pygame from the CLI, on a lemaker 3.5 display, doesn't need something special, right ? But I only get garbage on the screen (using a fresh image), and have to reboot the board to "reset" the display : Could you please send me your script initialization part to compare ? Many thanks

Hi, I'm trying to get pygame working on Banana Pi / Banana Pro (with LVDS display) using the armbian 4.5 CLI images, but I'm unable to succeed (I think I'm missing fbturbo). I tried to install the basic desktop following armbian guide, but pygame still is not working. A little help on this one would be very appreciated, thanks !
