Here is the link to a thread I started. https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2017-January/002541.html back in January and judge for yourself. 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.

That can't be right. We have Xorg working just fine in RedSleeve, which is essentially an armv5tel port of CentOS. I certainly have Xorg with KDE working on my Chromebook running RSEL7.

There is no version of X that works on CentOS. What is there is

from what I can tell. In part I believe that is due to bugs in the

was buggy. As much as I didn't want to do it, I ended up using the

At a glance, it looks like Xorg couldn't probe either the fbdev or modesetting drivers. Do you get a grey Xorg screen if you just run
"X"?
(exit with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace if it starts). You may need to set up a basic xorg.conf with the driver and
modelines
explicitly listed.
hi Gordan,
I get nothing, startx just exist with the error. Xorg -configure exist with the same error.
I seem stuck
