Unable to install xorg-server

[ganeshpulsars]

Hi All
I have started using OpenWrt this week.
I am using Banana Pi M2 Ultra.
I am trying to get a HDMI display to work with this hardware.
I understand I have to install xorg-server among other things.
I am not able to get xorg-server installed using opkg. I get this error message:
opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package xorg-server
Tried with one other mirror repository (Singapore) without success.
How do I install this package?
Thanks in advance
Regards Ganesh

I am not able to get xorg-server installed using opkg. I get this error message:

You cannot install a graphics server on OpenWrt. The fundamental dependenceis are not available for OpenWrt and would likely take years to develop (and nobody is interested in doing this).

See this recent thread on the same topic:

Running LXDE on OpenWrt in any possible way

Hi. I decided to make my own custom openwrt build (official builds won't work for me) running on PC without virtualization (such as virtualbox) BECAUSE virtualbox uses additional drivers which kill all your speeds drastically. If you're working with Gigabits this ain't do the job. Cannot expect good USB3 speeds as well. But running openwrt directly on PC makes it really hard to manage without LuCi. I don't want to use another PC to make tunnel and then use LuCi. Makes no practical sense. So…

Most devices that include a graphics output (VGA, DVI/HDMI/DP) should support a text based interface. But that's it. No GUI will be possible. OpenWrt does have the LuCI web interface which provides the GUI for OpenWrt simply by using another machine (i.e. any full OS like linux/mac/windows ios/android, etc.) and a web browser. The webserver runs on OpenWrt, and you can then use any client to access it.

Thanks @psherman for your prompt reply
Even though I am disappointed that I could do what I want with OpenWrt, I am happy that I learnt about a new platform
Thanks for the great job
