Hello again!

Hmm, I think I might have used another monitor which it did not find at all.

Sorry about that.

But it should have found it in any way (it's a normal monitor which I know works).

I have turned it off and on.

Should I try to install another system e.g. the official 14.04 and see if it works?

Best Regards
/ Rasmus

the official and the beta firmware use the different display drivers.

That's the one I will try with :-)

Does it have Open GL ES?

Or what is the difference?

i ran into problems trying to add wifi firmware into the kernel as I'm not a linux expert. is there any timeframe from when firefly will update their image to include it?

also while not completely related i did check out debian 8 beta image and the mainline kernel is running very well so is there any plans to move away fro 3.14 to 4.x in the near future?

No.That firmware have no Open GL ES，
you need add it by yourself like this :

the openCL support is the same as the openGL ES's.
