Thanks for offering to help in setting up my Tontec screen on the Pi3!
This is what I have done so far:
1. I installed the 3/21/2016 image on the Raspberry Pi3 and set up wireless networking using a static IP address. Everything works, I am able to see the Pi on my network.
2. Per the Tontec instructions, I added the following to /boot/config.txt and rebooted:
- Code: Select all
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=mz61581
3. I created the file 99-fbturbo.conf in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/with the following text:
- Code: Select all
# This is a minimal sample config file, which can be copied to
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf in order to make the Xorg server pick up
# and load xf86-video-fbturbo driver installed in the system.
#
# When troubleshooting, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the debugging
# output and error messages.
#
# Run "man fbturbo" to get additional information about the extra
# configuration options for tuning the driver.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Allwinner A10/A13 FBDEV"
Driver "fbturbo"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "true"
EndSection
4. I added fbcon=map:10 at the end of current line of /boot/cmdline.txt and rebooted.
I now get the runeaudio login terminal on the Tontec screen, but no midori. I entered startx, and got the following error message:
Fatal server error
[EE] no screens found
It was at this point previously that I started updating the system, downloading drivers, etc. One time I somehow got the screen to work. Another time I could not get it to work. The time I got the screen to work, I lost the ability to see the Pi3 on the network.
I assumed that the problem had something to do with fbturbo, but I really don't know.
So, on this attempt, I have stopped at step 4. I get the runeaudio login prompt, but no midori. The network works fine.
Now what should I do?
Thanks,
Rod
