That looks more like 2d/3d acceleration, than actual video acceleration.

yes the driver was compiled for a different version.

I have recompiled the driver for kernel vers ...

Now it is working. Thanks!

Are you by any chance working on a H3 FC23 image?
Would be nice.

Thanks for the good work!

Nice job, thank you.

A little request (if I may): in the next kernel release enable iotop requirements please:

1. orangepi@OrangePI:~$ sudo iotop
   
2. Could not run iotop as some of the requirements are not met:
   
3. - Linux >= 2.6.20 with
   
4.   - I/O accounting support (CONFIG_TASKSTATS, CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING)

Hi guys
First of all, thank you loboris for this great thread. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.3 on OrangePI Plus booting and running linux partition on emmc memory. I wished to backup my current linux setup on sd card, but install_to_sdcard gives me an error. As you can see in below output sd card is correctly formated but then scripts stops with mount error. I'm using the newest kernel, script.bin and lib modules. SD card has 64GB capacity so it's not a problem and it's working correctly because I ran linux from it and used install_to_emmc after. Could you give me some assistance with complete this task?

1. sudo install_to_sdcard
