Description Hubert Mantel 2017-09-24 18:56:25 UTC

I'm trying to install current Tumbleweed on this hardware:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/J3355B-ITX/index.us.asp

When YaST should start, I only get a black screen, so installation cannot be performed. X server reports it cannot open a display.

For testing purposes I installed Ubuntu, which worked like a charm. I also complains about a missing graphics driver, but mplayer happily plays HD movies in perfect quality.

I assume I could perform a text mode install, but would like to know how I get X running afterwards.

mplayer output from Ubuntu system

On the Ubuntu system mplayer tries to use vdpau but fails with a similar error message as the Tumbleweed install. Then it falls back to using xv as video driver but this results in a high quality and perfect movie playback.

Again this Broxton GPU. Seems Mesa package has not been installed. Weird. During installation Mesa should not be required.

Lowering prio since probably almost nobody else would try to install a full blown linux distribution on such hardware. It is the perfect mainboard for a HTPC, and so I finally simply dropped libreelec on it. Installation took about 20 seconds and everything is working just perfectly.

Feel free to close as wontfix or whatever :)

Thanks Hubert!

This is weird, Mesa should be installed unconditionally.

It's quite unfortunate, but since we don't have the hardware to test this, we can't reproduce the problem. Sorry :(

So let's do what you suggested, and call it a (regrettable) RESOLVED WONTFIX.
