The only real problem I see is here:
[ 2665.952] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
It appears that CentOS wants to use hardware acceleration that the Pi can't do. Video is definitely one of the Pi's weaker capabilities.
I saw that but I didn't think it was really fatal. I thought it just meant some software emulation was going to be done in place of hardware acceleration. Therefore I thought that maybe the driver to do that did not get installed. Is there an obvious way to try and turn off hardware acceleration?
Compared to the other desktops, GNOME is a resource hog. I'm a MATE guy, so I can't yet speak to the CentOS ARM build. I do know that the MATE Spin for Fedora 25 ARM installed perfectly on my Raspberry Pi3.
Yes I know GNOME is a hog, but was just trying it out. I really want to try out the aarch64 version but not much on the internet as to how to get started (Quick start is coming soon). Would really like to find more definitive instructions for that. Stilll pretty amazing what you can do for about $40.
