Sorry you can't see top or left edge...can't get any images down to actual screen size. No resize options in it's menu...That is a still shot of the video that I was able to catch the one frame of what flashed past between entering login and password...

Windows 10 laptop.
Download and extract newest Debian xfce image.
burn image with win32diskimager.
Remove and reinsert card.
Rename *.img.opiplus to *.img
Rename script.bin_*plus1080p60 to script.bin
Insert in Pi Plus board...above pic is result.

Raspian img from resources boots without monitor...
Tried other loboris imgs with same results as above.
Will try a different sd card.

Board will not boot new image.
Step 1- Confirm correct/adequate power supply. check
Step 2- Double check your work creating uimage. quadruple checked
Step 3- Try a different SD card. success!!!!!!

Would that explain why the raspian image in downloads didn't work?

Thank you loboris. Thinking out my last reply to you gave me the idea...

Sent from Orange Pi Plus running loboris Debian 8 xfce.

If the drivers for some devices are not in the kernel source, I can't do anything about it. If you ...

I am using your Lubuntu 15.04 and x2go with custom command below but cannot start desktop session. It reports "session start failed" error. Have you tried? I am using the PyHoca-GUI 0.5.0.4 which is the newest version.
lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE

I tried to install gutenprint-driver using synaptic package manager but got broken package errors. Have you tried? Need these packages to make my printers working.

I know, that's why it is test kernel...

I tried the test kernel, and it is not stable, it automatically logout and freeze dead sometimes.
I also have some overscan issues with my TV. The area around the screen does not fit, some pixels streched out of the screen. Any fix? We also need a 1024*768 resolution script.bin.

On my OPI+ the new experimental kernel is now running for almost 24 hours, and it runs flawless. I even have the idea that everything runs more smoothly, but this is subjective off course.

I've installed the new experimental kernel over Lubuntu with the mate desktop (all from Loboris' Mega cloud).

I'll try to build the driver from sources you've sent.
Gutenprint driver installs without problem (see the screenshot).
I haven't had any instability or freezes with the new kernel. Do you have heatsink/fan?
1024x768 is not supported, I'll try to make it work, but it requires seting many timing values, so ....
You should be able to set overscan on your monitor/tv.
I can connect to OPI-Lubuntu via x2go without problem with custom session:
