I disagree with Charles and Schooner. I used console access for years and I have had enough of it. I am tired of typing long lines of console entry to avoid the conveniences of a good gui interface. There are many features available in a good gui that help avoid carpal tunnel syndrome. I think t

Yes I agree that since increases the delay fixes this issue the problem is caused by: "some sort of startup delay". However you are pointing to a grander problem: As the DE0_Nano_SoC is flaged EOL with the DE10_Nano (with hdmi) set as replacement framebuffersupport would be something hard to k
