Hi,
I am still struggling in understanding what you want to explain. Each new post I am getting more and more information from you but more confused than before
1. I have never tried a hdmi to vga adapter ... so I cannot give you any information if this type of adapter works the same as a standard direct hdmi to hdmi cable. The latter case is the only connection I used since 6 years with netPI only.
2. You say something about xfe desktop. How do you get it activated? Are you using netPIs original SD card and OS or are you using a different OS with you own SD card? Or are you using a Docker container example we made years ago here https://hub.docker.com/r/hilschernetpi/n...sktop-hdmi ?
3. Can you confirm that you see console outputs ALWAYS after you powered your netPI or not. I mean ALWAYS until netPI starts activating the desktop? Because console outputs is a MUST HAVE and tells me your netPI is working correctly on HDMI.
4. What happens if you are trying to connect your netPI via HDMI to a HDMI monitor? Is netPI then operating normal?
5. Just in case you are using the docker desktop example from here https://hub.docker.com/r/hilschernetpi/n...sktop-hdmi that we made public as a template to users I would say that I am not sure if I have ever started and used it without keyboard and mouse ... since this is in my eyes a setup a Desktop is made for. Since it is an open source code example located here https://github.com/HilscherAutomation/ne...sktop-hdmi, everybody is invited to copy it and make his own modifications to create his own Desktop and setup. What I also can definitively say is that during starting the desktop container via the https://github.com/HilscherAutomation/ne...rypoint.sh start script, this script maps all input devices from /dev/input into the container so that keyboard and mouse can get reachable in the container.
Thx
Armin
