[ODROID-XU4] Can't startx after Mali drivers installation

[M1CK431]

Hello,

I have recently buy an ODROID-XU4 from HardKernel. My goal is use it with Archlinux ARM as a mediacenter, directly plug on my TV through HDMI. After some boot problem, I have successfully install Archlinux on my EMMC memory (using at first boot time an additional SD card to make my EMMC bootable).

After that I have install xorg and KDE (plasma 5) using mesa-libgl.
I have also create a file /home/alarm/.xinitrc with this content:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'exec startkde')
Now when I run "startx" as a normal user (alarm), KDE startup as expected.

Sadly, I have a very poor graphic performance (can't read an AVI file with VLC in full screen) because I haven't yet install the specific Mali graphic drivers. So I have try install odroid-xu3-libgl-x11 and xf86-video-armsoc-odroid. After that, I can't startup KDE with the "startx" command. I have the following error (from .local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log):
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

Hello,

I have try to follow this thread but no success:
http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9345&p=48720#p48720

Any help please?

[gripped]

Expand on 'no success'

The standard Alarm armsoc for odroid does not work well on the XU3/4 hence the version I made you linked to.

The log you posted seems to say you are using fbdev as the driver set in xorg.conf ? That's not right. It should be 'armsoc'

If you go to this thread on the odroid forum
http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=96&t=8334
you'll find packages I've made and instructions to get a desktop with egl working.

And if you look through the thread you'll find a kernel , and mali drivers, for the latest r6p0 version.

I am working too much (in the real world) to keep things as up to date as I'd like to but if you read through the thread you may find some help. Or post here, or there, with specifics and logs and I'll try to help.
