OK I'll do some preparation work first. The last time I installed on this box, I remember the boot loader setup invoking tears :) This is a semi-personal/semi-work server too, so I don't want to be offline for *too* long. Has the boot loader stuff become slightly less cryptic these days? Thanks for the offer of sharing your scripts. I'd love to see what you've got. I've just switched my laptop from Gentoo to Arch ( largely because of the ongoing issues I've had getting E+Wayland+EGL working on it ... and yes, this has fixed things ). It would be great to have the Cubox running on an Arch-based distro as well. how is the etnaviv driver state for wayland/kms/drm/gles purposes? you may > want > to check into that first to look for blockers on the imx.6. > It was in a pretty immature state when I installed. I was able to bring up E+Wayland+EGL, but the whole thing was pretty unstable. Running in software mode was pretty slow. I ended up not having a monitor connected anyway, and making a mental note to check on things "regularly". There's been a lot of work on the etnaviv stack for the Librem 5 phone. I was hoping that improved things significantly for the imx.6. It was a minefield of competing drivers and out-of-date documentation last time :) Dan _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
