Hi,

NanoPi M1 GPU features are disabled and unsupported at this time on all H3 boards. Our image is ideal for server usage. You should be able to run a desktop under VNC, but not native.

GPU features are supported in:

- RPi (all)
- Odroid (all)

thanks for kind advice .

now i use banana pi M1 as internet web and ssh server because of low maintenance cost .  
when banana pi will became broken , i will use nanopi as internet web and ssh server .

## without your advice , A wasteful effort are repeated.
