Closing log file. > > > /var/log/Xorg.0.log basically says that there's no /dev/fb pseudo file, which is true, so I thinkI'm using the wrong video driver.Any hint about how could I address this issue? Most probably no graphic enabled in the kernel config, tinkerboard uses an Mali-T760 GPU ([1]), there is a official mixed open/closed source graphic stack available I think, or the complete open source graphic stack 'panfrost' ([2]), see [3] for a starting point...
