I had no trouble getting your Ubuntu image working on my stm32mp157-DK2 board and enjoy access to all the Ubuntu armv7 repositories. I would like to get Xorg and a lightweight desktop working on the board since my application requires a simple desktop. Do you have any recommendations? I tried to apt-get install the basic lxde desktop but can’t seem to get the server and desktop to display on the lcd screen or hdmi monitor.
Hi @sbtagain, the ‘fbdev’ driver should work, sorry as i haven’t personally tested this…
But follow these similar instructions, for example the base xorg.conf:

Hi @sbtagain, how did you get on with this?
I have been trying to launch a graphical application on my STMP32157 DK2 and haven’t had great success getting the display manager going yet on the Ubuntu or Debian image (tutorial on digikey). Likely a configuration issue or missing driver I suspect.
Interested in your experience!
Hi @rs31846 sorry, i haven’t seen much movement on this issue. In theory, we should be able to use the xf86-video-armada driver which supports variants of the GC 2D family…
