Just received myJ3710 and was very anxious to try various Operating Systems (Linux, Windows, OpenElec, RemixOS).
All these systems come with their own bootloader when started from USB or when user installed on HD, like Syslinux, Clover, Refind, Grub or Grub4Dos)
Sadly, I noticed very, very slow screen updates (refresh) on all of them. Even text-based loaders are slowly drawn on the screen and typing (when in command-line mode) is barely undo able, because every time I enter text, the screen is very slowly redrawn.
Has this something to do with poorly implementedVESA BIOS Extensions or is something else causing this? Only experienced this slow Video-BIOS behavior on very old nvidia based chipsets and was surprised to see this again in 2016.
Have had various Asrock mobo's and none of these exhibit this behavior. Can I expect this to be fixed in future BIOS updates?
