Linux on X7 mini

[bragma]

Hello,
what's the status of Linux (Ubuntu, Debian or some other distro) on this device? I'm interested on running Linux on the internal flash.-
Thanks!

Can anyone confirm if there is working audio in linux? I see wifi is fixed. If I put linux on X7 I will need to install kodi to use for video on box. How stable is it?

Who can help with setting up the bootable SD for Linux. I get it to work but the display is set to 1080P mode and I have tried a couple of things by changing /etc/X11/xorg.conf but no luck.

I get either to low graphic resolution or the thing will not boot. Checked syntax but I thought I would edit the xorg.conf and add the following to end of file:


Here is what I added:


Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
HorizSync 31-65
VertRefresh 50-120
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "mali_drv"
DefaultDepth 24

SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1600x900"
EndSubSection
EndSection



I have added 1280x1024, 1024x768 and even 800x600 Modes with No Luck..

Can anyone tell me how I change resolution mode on the bootable SD Linux for the Minix. I can't control the underscan to get all of display on my Proscan 39" TV. Cheap TV does not allow me advanced controls to changed settings. So my only options seems to be to change resolution.


Need help on changing this bootable SD Linux resolution.

I tried the same changes. THEN I just changed a setting within my tv... Cinema or something like that, made my day.

But I guess you have tried that. My tv also old and I didn't even know it Had the quick setting. I think with xdfe it was possible.
