      I just played around with the DISPLAY parameter and when setting:

      michel@orangepizero2:~/MagicMirror$ export DISPLAY=:1
      michel@orangepizero2:~/MagicMirror$ npm start
      
      > magicmirror@2.17.1 start /home/michel/MagicMirror
      > DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

      I get the magic mirror in the VNC session (but not on the monitor)
      0f3dacac-c919-4a08-856e-849e5e76708b-image.png

      So this seems to be related to the output somehow.

            Ah right.

            I would like to thank you very much for all your help.

            Went looking for a second hand Raspberry PI 4B 1G today and found one. A little expensive but at least I have something more compatible now so I at least can get the magicmirror running :)

            Still willing to help out (testing) if you would like to make your script Orange Pi Zero 2 compatible. That might help others.

              Yes, that is correct.

                @michelw it’s not the script, it’s the assumption by the mm startup, defined in package.json), that DISPLAY needs to be :0 if not already set.

                      @michelw installed XFCE desktop armbian on pi4(4gb)…

                      opened terminal on desktop, see
                      DISPLAY=:0.0

                      installing MM now

                      DISPLAY not set on ssh session

                              Thanks for testing. This sadly did not work for me on the Orange Pi Zero 2.
