Hello Busybox.net,I'm attempting the development of a custom Linux distribution for the Asus Tinkerboard,using Buildroot 2020.02.2.I successfully obtained a booting OS image, which does communicate via serial and SSH,but doesn't output ANYTHING on the HDMI video output.I added all the packages I know of, including X11 stack and OpenGLES libs, but I'm not sureabout which video driver to use. I tried with xf86-video-fbdev and xf86-video-vesa, but withoutsuccess.
The net result is that when I try to load the Xserver through startx, I get the following result:
/home# startx
xauth:  file //.serverauth.255 does not exist
xauth:  file //.Xauthority does not exist


X.Org X Server 1.20.8

/var/log/Xorg.0.log basically says that there's no /dev/fb pseudo file, which is true, so I thinkI'm using the wrong video driver.Any hint about how could I address this issue?
Thanks & best regards,
