I also played around a bit with the armsoc driver from fedora (rebuild for RS of course). This with mixed results. sometimes it would work good and sometimes it would not start. At the same time I was trying to find out what went wrong with gdm. So all the tests were not that scientific.

I tried to install gnome/gdm from Centos armhfp repo, but it is just not there.
