Odroid XU No HDMI [SOLVED]

[narcin]

Good morning,

I'm newbe with archlinux on odroid XU. I've installed arch by following the instruction on main page. I can run xapplications (i.e. xclock) over ssh by xorg-auth. But I can't set HDMI on.

I have warning:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
$xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto
RandR extension missing

$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

')

extra/libxrandr - is installed.

Please help, I'm fighting with that third day.

Kind Regards,

Marcin.

XU an old-school fbdev driver. So no xrandr...

To adjust the resolution you have to change it on /boot/boot.ini

Thank you for your reply.

My boot.ini looks like this:

I suspect that problem is below, but I can't interpret it
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

')

I've also enabled in systemd exynos5-hwcomposer and installed xf86-video-fbdev
What else shall I do ?



After another few days with odroid-xu I suspect, tat my hdmi is broken.

I have a new question: When should I see anything on my screen ? after install ? or should make some postinstallation procedures to make it works ?

I've tried many options but without success I can manage it only through ssh. My boot.ini seems to be ok. I'l already tried other distros on many screens but I could't force them to show me anything.

After many days I won.

Like I sad before, I'm newbie. I've spend many hours with ubuntu which worked very well. But I really wanted to get archarm.

Main problem is that, on odroid xu doesn't has something like "console framebuffer" - that was the reason why I couldn't see anything.

After following official guide, I had to:

1. Install SLIM
2. enable SLIM by $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl enable slim')
3. LXDE
4. change line $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'setenv vout "hdmi"') to $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'setenv vout "dvi"') (because my display has dvi in)
