Maybe there is a better place to post this message but as my question
was still CentOS related thought I would start here. Please advise if
there is a better forum of which to ask this question.
I am playing around with making a "desktop" workstation out of a
Raspberry PI3. I have had no problems installing the OS and pretty much
have everything working except a Gnome desktop.
I did:
> yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop"
and from what I can tell everything necessary is installed. However when
I try to start X up I see it try and start, the display blinks as if
everything is good and then drops back down to the console. The log file
shown below shows a single error ([ 2665.952] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to
software rendering).

Does anybody see what I am doing wrong? Like I said it looks like the

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 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. -- Paul (ganci at nurdog.com) Cell: (303)257-5208
