Hi!

Today I just received my new Organelle-M. I’ve tried to run old SC patches from the Organelle-1 but they don’t start … Probably I may sound a bit stupid but, is SC already ported to be used in Organelle-M? Or do I need to change the old patches in some way to be used in the new Organelle?

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: I just saw the alternative firmware a couple of post above and now my patches are running! Thanks @teapot for this!

I don’t really want to run an alternative firmware to use supercollider. I did find this [github issue](https://github.com/monome/norns/issues/475). Which fixed things over SSH:

```auto
$ sclang 
compiling class library...
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display 
Aborted
music@organellem:~ $ export DISPLAY=:0
music@organellem:~ $ Xvfb :0 -ac -screen 0 1280x1024x16 &
[1] 30176
music@organellem:~ $ sclang
compiling class library...
	Found 715 primitives.
	Compiling directory '/usr/share/SuperCollider/SCClassLibrary'
... etc
sc3>

```

So is there a way to have supercollider patches run xvfb on the organelle rather than over ssh? I guess proper headless support for supercollider would have to come in an OS release. Maybe the same fix for norns would work - there’s a whole bunch of compile instructions [here](https://github.com/monome/norns/issues/435)
