I have been there, experiencing the same issues as you. I loaded up everything X and no go. Note Jim's reply and judge for yourself. Maybe my interpretation is incorrect... I would like to know as I would give CentOS another shot. But nothing I tried could get X to come up. It would look like it wanted to start and then it just crashed back to the console. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On February 16, 2017 10:49:44 AM EST, Gordan Bobic <gordan@redsleeve.org> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

What is there is incomplete from what I can tell. In part I believe that is due to bugs in the upstream drivers if I understand Jim Perrin correctly. I spent days trying to get X and gave up. I tried using a version of Fedora with Mate which worked but was buggy. As much as I didn't want to do it, I ended up using the latest version of Raspbian which comes with Pixel and works great. I had other reasons such as the newest Raspbian makes it easy to switch the PI3 serial port behavior back to what is was for the PI2. Important if you wish to use one of the GPS hats. <br /><br /><div class="gmail_quote">On February 16, 2017 9:58:39 AM EST, Jerry Geis <<a href="mailto:jerry.geis@gmail.com" target="_blank">jerry.geis@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
