I suspect the login screen is very light. There is that little icon
that lets you select which GDM gets loaded, so the 'load' comes in
loading a given GDM. I had problems with F24-X86_64 loading
Cinnamon even when you selected Xfce. As it is I have both
installed, but the login defaults now to loading Xfce. Supposedly
the bug has been fixed.<br>
<br>
Quite some years back on Fedora-arm, probably F22, there was a GDM
discussion and Xfce and LDXE were the 'winners' in memory and cpu.
I tried LDXE, but liked the feel of Xfce and switched to it. With
Fedora images, it is really easy to try a GDM, just build a mSD card
for each GDM and boot and see how it goes.<br>

Still use k3b...<br>

I don't use Gnome so cannot comment on that, but I don't imagine
GDM itself is that heavy just to display the login screen.<br>

Battery life may not be an issue for C7 users like it is

switching to XFce from Gnome.<br>

IMNSHO, it is a priorities thing. If all rpms compile
equally as well, the ones that use the least memory and

I was wondering if there is a method to
provide a "basic" graphical env<br>
on Centos7 arm. This is in line with the
recent upstream Fedora<br>
publishing all types with their ver:25. also
the fact that Raspbian now<br>
released a stable graphical env that works
out of the box with all the<br>
goodies.<br>
My tries no matter what type of graphical
env chosen have failed with<br>
dependencies not met. I have already set up
the epel for arm. I know<br>
that you have gone a long way preparing the
Centos7 minimal for the arm<br>
and it is already awesome, however having a
graphical skin particularly<br>
in arm boards sometimes is a must-have
requirement.<br>
Thanks in advance<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I don't think someone/anyone really spent time
investigating the whole<br>
chain for a desktop environment on CentOS 7
armhfp. I've myself never<br>
tried even to just see if that would work. The
initial goal was to have<br>
"minimal" working, as most users are probably
targeting such system. If<br>
now some people would like to spend time
investigating what would be<br>
needed, what's still to be built, etc, that
can "become a thing" :-)<br>

Just had 5 minutes to connect a rpi2 to my tft
screen and tested the<br>
following :<br>
<br>
yum group install 'Server with GUI'
--skip-broken<br>
yum install xorg-x11-drv-fbdev.armv7hl
xorg-x11-drv-evdev.armv7hl xterm<br>
<br>
After that , as I was able to get a X
environment working with<br>
xinit /bin/xterm<br>
<br>
So I guess it's now a matter of finding a
correct GDM/login manager and<br>
then something light that can be used ...<br>

I vote for Xfce. Though LXDE seems to have a
following. You can try them all from the latest
rawhide builds over at:<br>
