    Hey Benny!

    <Esc>:read !lscpu | grep "Model name:" | sed -r 's/Model name:\s{1,}//g'
    AMD Ryzen Embedded R1505G with Radeon Vega Gfx

    The above works with a purely console based mplayer, default fullscreen, using the fbdev driver. No boot penguins yet but is definetly superior to any intel based graphics I have seen thus far which is also refusing to offer up any boot penguins either. :::sigh:::

    Life is good,

    Hey Maurice!

    using the fbdev driver

    That should have said fbdev2 driver, although fbdev is still an option.

    Hey Maurice!

    Also should have mentioned that /dev/fb0 on this machine is using the kernel's amdgpu driver which apparently works great from what I see going on here.

    good progress

    The above works with a purely console based mplayer, default
    fullscreen, using the fbdev driver.

    that imho would be minimal when using vesa :=)

    :::sigh:::

    penguins needs to have the kernel buildt with the fb0 to be loaded before penguins shows, so no modules in /proc/config build with =m that will delay loading of graphic driver, so penguins came to late


    Regards Benny

    Hey Benny!

    that imho would be minimal when using vesa :=)

    No doubt but probably too slow for most movie formats these days. As of this writing amdgpu is clearly the best of what I have onhand and those are all i915's.

    so penguins came to late

    I hate when that happens.

    Life is good,
