Upgrade Sunxi_Jessie_3.4.103 to Stretch (or anything higher) possible?

[Chris]

Trying to upgrade Sunxi_Jessie_3.4.103 to Stretch (or anything higher):

- Set new distro in /etc/apt/sources.list
- apt-get update --> success
- apt-get dist-upgrade --> no major problems

BUT: After rebooting no X desktop.

So we got a version conflict: "fbturbo: module ABI major version (18) doesn't match the server's version (23)"
Where do I get a matching version of fbturbo_drv.so ?

Any idea is welcome.


PS: And NO! - Olimage with its crap graphic driver is NO solution.

Maybe what you already found - LibreELEC - and go hunting for how they did it. Probably not open source or it would be in mainline.
