MELE A2000 - How to setup video output ?

Postby marmotte » Fri Aug 30, 2013 8:06 am

Hi,

I try to use my mele A2000 box as a "standard PC" (with desktop, standard programs as browser, office, picture, video, ... programs).
But impossible to have something on hdmi or VGA output. I really look for instructions in forum, wiki, on various site (guillaume playground, linux4xi, rombustech, ...) but no way, nothing works.

Actually, I follow installation instruction and I have a SD card which is working. I can reach my mele with ssh.

I try :

1. To add in the uEnv.txt file -> disp.screen0_output_type=3 disp.screen0_output_mode=1920x1080p60 at the end of the file but nothing happen next start. (With output type 3, I assume it's the hdmi output ... following the fexc documentation).

2. After adding normal user and update package, I install xorg's package (as usual ans as described in the beguinner's guide) with standard fbdev driver, but I cannot start it (no screen found ???). So I "modprobe" modules lcd, hdmi and fb(something, I forgot) ... but still nothing.

3. I even rebuild my script.bin file after check config. First, I use bin2fex command to have text config file from script.bin file. After, I check and adapt some option and than, I rebuild the script.bin file (with fex2bin command).

I guess I miss something but I don't know what. My mele is working and when I start it in android, the hdmi output works (so it's not a hardware problem ... even the first ubuntu image works in graphic mode ... but without network :( ).

Please, tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I forget to do. An ARM device is really different from "standard PC". A wiki specific for "ARM problems" miss in the site. The standard arch wiki won't help and find up to date information in the forum is very difficult.

Thanks in advance for your help.

yes, but ... no ...

Too short, I already try what I understood ... but without success.

I rebuild my own script.bin (instruction found in the site linux-sunxi.org ... before writing this post I try everything I found). µ

My desktop and laptop are all under archlinux for more than 5 years, I know that it's better to read the F.... manual before call for help. In this case, I cannot find the "good manual".

Please help me with more than just a shortcut.
