Jernej, can you look at 3D issue? You don't need any 3D equipment to reproduce issue. Just enable 3d ...

Sorry, I don't have much time for this project currently. When I have, I'm working on auto resolution detection (HDMI EDID).

I don't have it so I didn't prepare the image for it. From what I can tell from pictures, the only difference between Plus and Plus 2 is RAM and eMMC size. This means that the Plus image should work just fine. Please test.

It's possible, but I don't know how much work such task takes. Binary can't be used as is, because it is not compiled for X11. You can try to compile it together with my patches, but I can't say if it will work as expected.

Hi, I just found something interesting.
It looks like the size of /storage is not detected correctly.
This is my current set-up that I updated since May:

So this works fine...

But on a newly flashed image (08-06):

As you see: the /storage is only 31MB compared to 12GB.
This while the newly flashed image is a 64GB microSD, and the old one is only 16GB...

Is there any way to fix this?

32 MB is standard size of unexpanded partition. Please flash new image and observe serial output. One of the steps and reason why first boot takes so long is partition expansion. Maybe something is wrong during this step. I wonder what is max. supported SD card size by H3...

Hmm, I noticed that first boot never succeeded actually. Both flashes I had to manually restart after 15min of splash screen. Could explain the issue. Now flashing on a spare 16GB to check if it'll be OK.

This first boot can take few minutes for a 8 GB SD card, so for a 64 GB card it could take 15 min or more (wild guess). I would leave it for an hour just to see if it actually takes so long or something else is wrong.
