I am getting proper console display with
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
But typing is all garbled. I am ASSuMEing it is the USB uart. On another system, even the console output comes across as garbled.
I think a neighbor has one I can borrow to test with, or I will have to buy another. Of course if it is the USB UART, why did it fail? Cheap chinese device?
So that means for now I cannot work with F21-minimal build. When will F-21-Lxde support my Allwinner A20 (Cubieboard 2) video?

F-21 uses upstream kernels, it will likely still be a while before the upstream kernels get video / hdmi out support.

Now that is truly a disturbing piece of news.
Does the vga video on the Cubietruck work?
What did you do to get the video working in your F20 remix?
Regards,
Yeah. I guess. Bad news impacts testing plans. :(
I suppose I can push on with minimal, then what would I need to install so that VNC would work (I assume minimal has no Xorg support).

Thanks, Adam. Scary that Video is listed under 'hard'.
Clearly the Fedora 19 and 20 remixes have Video working. But one does not imply the other.
So perhaps, for now, I should focus on the Centos 7 port to arm as F19 is there?

The F-20 remix is not mine, I did the F18 and F19 remixes, since F20 I've been focussing on upstream. The remixes all use a linux-sunxi.org 3.4 kernel, which is derived from the android kernel sources for allwinner boards. The linux-sunxi.org kernels are still being maintained by the linux-sunxi community, so it shouldn't be hard for someone to do a remix using the 3.4 kernel for F-21.

My understanding with remixes is that I cannot replace the kernel. This makes doing a 'yum update' next to impossible. I tried '--exclude=kern*' but that left all sorts of dependecies hanging.
Thus this early into F21, it would seem that whoever took on the remix would have a big job to stay on top of the continual changes.
