Re: Graphical output from iMX6/Cubox-i
Hi,
here is an interesting reply I received off-list from Sean (I have not yet
looked at it):

Hi Rainer,
There are a few pieces missing, but I have all of them packaged. It Depends
on https://github.com/xobs/libetnaviv, which is also packaged. It requires a
patch to libdrm that apparently is being upstreamed now, but which I have
packaged at https://github.com/xobs/libdrm.
Our Debian repo is available at http://repo.novena.io/debian/ with some newer
packages up at http://repo.novena.io/xobs-beta/. I try to include source as
well as binaries, so "apt-get source" should work.
I've built Debian packages, but I've found the actual process of upstreaming
to be much too tiring and too time-consuming, so I haven't done that with
these packages.

Hi Sean,
as far as I understand xserver-xorg-video-armada is the only missing piece to
run X on a Debian stretch system and your repo
https://github.com/xobs/xserver-xorg-video-armada
has even debian subdirectories.
Did you ever build a Debian package? If yes, do you have any plans to upload
it to Debian itself?
Many thanks and kind regards
Rainer
