Hello, I am typing this after some hours of reseach in forums and google :-( I have received my udoo x86. I downloaded the xfce installation image from debian I created my usb bootable stick and installed debian in the eMMC (32G) The system boots (grub, login ...) but as son as the X are started, the screen goes blank. I can login using the net, after loading the non-free ethernet "fw" If I boot in text mode, after executing "systemctl set-default multi-user.target", I can use the screen. I have tried my HDMI TV and a computer screen with the same result. The xorg logs read: ......

Ra, I'm researching the Debian X11 issue on the Udoo X86 eMCC also: http://www.udoo.org/forum/posts/25849/. I'm also seeing random bright streaks and inverse video on the text-based console tty. I wonder what sort of reports the Debian team is receiving about the new Udoo hardware. https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/apas04.html.en Today my m.2 256GB SSD arrived, and I didn't see any issues at all with Win10Pro. I'm impressed with the responsiveness of Debian on the Udoo X86 platform. It will be interesting to see how snappy it with X11. Even Win10 is quick enough for impatient me, despite several programs open simultaneously. I'm hoping to run DX Lab https://www.dxlabsuite.com/ under Windows to control an IC-7300 transceiver that is the heart of the solar-powered portable radio station I'm constructing. I'm particularly attracted to the new X86 platform for its low power requirement, and the ability to run Windows programs natively.
Excellent! Would love to follow your progress with your radio station project. UDOO has a Hackster page to help users learn from community projects and share new ones. Here's the page for the UDOO X86 https://www.hackster.io/udoo/products/udoo-x86

Thank you for your interest in my intent to integrate the Udoo X86 into the solar-powered portable radio station, Laura. I've been designing, constructing, and testing for about a year, and now finalized selection of the most suitable components. I'm using LiFePO4 battery chemistry for it's light weight and high energy density. Unlike most other chemistries, LiFePO4 cells have an almost flat discharge curve. That means that during discharge the battery terminal voltage remains virtually constant until ~80% State Of Discharge. That makes it difficult to gauge the battery's SOC. But, after lengthy research and testing, it's all integrated and functioning remarkably well now. Constructing the 6-band, light-weight, two-element, directional antenna prototype proved its utility and performance, with one exception. The materials for a more robust coaxial feed-line arrived yesterday, so I've got my work cut out for the next few days. The entire 500 Watt HF/VHF portable station will be fitted into a 16" X 16" X 24" DeWALT plastic, rolling toolbox and two 4' X 1' cylindrical canvas bags; the solar panel is 24 X 48. Ideally, a 10.1" (or larger) LCD touch display for the Udoo X86 will be my next research project. Of course, the little computer will have to be shielded against EMI, I'm hoping Mindaugas Palubinskas (info@hpcsystem.lt) will begin fabricating cases for the Udoo X86 like the very professional one he did for the Quad: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ucase-udoo-sheet-metal-case#/. I loaded DX Lab on the Udoo X86 today, and it runs fine so far. It's exciting to see this phase of the project progressing nicely. The Udoo hardware is snappy, low power, and the 4GB RAM appears adequate to support lots of open windows. Cool. Thank you for the suggestion. I do plan on writing about it. I'll probably put the report on a web page as progress proceeds. When complete, I'll submit it to Hackster. Best regards, Larry, WB6BBB
