Hi All,

I downloaded: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/armhfp/ for the PI3

This article says the PI3 runs X. http://news.softpedia.com/news/centos-7-linux-officially-released-for-raspbe...

When I groupinstall Gnome desktop and reboot, then run startx I get an error about no screens found.

Whats the trick to get X on the PI3?

X does not work in CentOS on the PI .. the drivers required to make it work are proprietary.

Well, nothing on our (CentOS) side claims that X was working. Technically a lot of pkgs were built, but all images are minimal. If you're intestested into armhfp/aarch64, can you consider subscribing to the dedicated arm-dev list (https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/arm-dev) and start a thread there ?

I don't remember if someone already tried to have X working on such armhfp boards (with CentOS pkgs that is)
