Could you please configure Xorg manually?

Please execute the following command as root:
After that copy the xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then restart your AmigaONE X1000.

Please delete the xorg.conf in /etc/X11 and then install the package xserver-xorg-video-fbdev with:


After that reboot your AmigaONE X1000.

If it is already installed then edit the xorg.conf and modify the section Device.

Hi Mufa,

I think I have found the problem. Xorg hasn't been able to find Mesa. Please copy zappa2009's xorg.conf to /etc/X11 and then install the following packages:

libgl1-mesa-glx
libgl1-mesa-dri

If it doesn't work then post the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of lspci | grep -i vga.

You could also test the RC3 of kernel 4.5 if you like. It has the new byte swap code for Radeon firmwares.

If you have extra time you could also test the old kernel 3.19 final.

PLEASE don't forget to test the fbdev driver above.

Many thanks for your effort!

Cheers,

Christian

Hi Mufa,

It could be that the option “Ubuntu MATE desktop” doesn't install a desktop. Could you please choose the "Lubuntu desktop" additionally at the software selection screen?

Cheers,

Hi All,

Stanglnator tested the installation instructions yesterday. He told me that the option “Ubuntu MATE desktop” doesn't install a desktop.

It is better to choose nothing at the software selection screen and after installing the base system to install a desktop with apt-get install.

Please don't choose an option at the software selection screen.

Cheers,

Christian

Hi All,

I have some good news for you. Stanglnator was able to install Ubuntu 16.04 with the RC3 of kernel 4.5 and the new installation initial ramdisk initrd-4.5-rc3-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz.

He choosed the following software at the software selection screen (tasksel):

- standard system utilities (important)
- Lubuntu desktop
- Xubuntu desktop

Xorg, 3D acceleration with the patched r600_dri.so etc works.

I tried this out, placing the initrd.gz and vmlinux 4.5rc3 on the cf card on my X1000. I can boot the installation, and install the linux build on my X1000 system following the instructions, but when the installation is completed and I reboot using the menu commands as per the instructions:

CFE> setenv -p MENU_2_LABEL "ubuntu MATE 16.04 with kernel 4.5"
CFE> setenv -p MENU_2_COMMAND 'set pmu -astate=A4 ; setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sda1 quiet ro splash" ; boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vm4.5'

I then get an error on the booting screen as below:
I also tried the rc4 version too on the cf card and got the same error.

It seems to indicate it needs an init= option but no idea what I have to do. It is obviously missing something! If someone can help that would be great!

Catcha,
