Display setup for Waveshare 9.3" Display

ejwhyte · December 15, 2023, 9:47pm

Hi,

Very new to Volumio & Raspberry Pi. First of all thanks for to the developers of Volumio, amazing to have such great free software available!

I have successfully go Volumio running on a RPi5 and installed the Touch Dsiplay plugin. I have a Waveshare 9.3" HDMI display with 1600x600 resolution. The display is functioning but i am having trouble getting the resolution set up properly.

When running Raspbian the resolution is working properly - 1600x600 with correct aspect ratio.

When running on Volumio the UI is stretched out. I have tried various different settings for the userconfig.txt file, applied either through editing the file by mounting the SD card on a windows PC or
by SSH’ing in the RPi (rebooting after each change). It seems that no matter what settings I apply it there is no affect on the display, it always runs at the same resolution and aspect ratio. I have tried several variations of the below:

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_force_mode=1
hdmi_cvt=1600 600 60 6 0 0 0

or

hdmi_cvt=1600 600 60
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_force_mode=1
max_framebuffer_width=1600
max_framebuffer_height=600
framebuffer_width=1600
framebuffer_height=600

I have also tried more extreme changes that should have an obvious affect (e.g setting the aspect ratio to 4:3) but still cannot see any change.

It almost seems like the userconfig file is not being read.

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated!

Hi,

It is not working on Pi5. You should try the same like on Pi5 with 7,9 and 11,9:

Thanks, unfortunately this did not work, again there was no change to the display

eMCZe · December 16, 2023, 10:32am

Do you done it like @gvolt said :

On computer or phone change TouchDisplay to off
Login to volumio via Putty ( pasword: volumio )
On command line use command:
su ( pasword: volumio )
copy and put to command line all sequence below:

cat >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-vc4.conf <<EOL
Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "vc4"
    MatchDriver "vc4"
    Driver "modesetting"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "true"
EndSection
EOL

Strart plugin TouchDisplay

In rest of Waveshare with Pi5 it works.

ejwhyte · December 16, 2023, 10:51am

Yes i did this full process.

I did see that thread previously but thought it might be a different problem as in that thread the display was not working at all initially, whereas for me the display worked first time when i plugged it in but i just could not change the resolution/aspect ratio

eMCZe · December 16, 2023, 11:03am

I observe that Pi5 not react on command in userconfig and config.txt. I had the same on Raspi and Volumio. Resolution is taken from driver.

Wait for @gvolt he is specialist and author of Touch Display plugin.

ejwhyte · December 16, 2023, 11:56am

OK thanks, I will wait see if gvolt has any advice

ejwhyte · January 1, 2024, 10:33am

@gvolt Do you have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

gvolt · January 1, 2024, 2:22pm

Please post the output of

cat /boot/config.txt

cat /boot/userconfig.txt

and

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Please use code tags when posting the output.

OK thanks, here is the output from all 3 commands:

Please replace your current settings in “/boot/userconfig.txt” with

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi5

After a reboot again execute

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

and post the result.

ejwhyte · January 2, 2024, 8:53pm

Thanks, the output is shown below. That does appear to have changed something on the display, I think the resolution is different but I cannot fully confirm is as the Volumio page is now not shown on the display. Something strange happened - I commented out dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi5 (so the userconfig.txt was empty) and rebooted the pi so that i could check if the resolution was changed, and when it booted up the Volumio splash logo did seem to be more of a correct aspect ratio, but it got stuck on that splash screen and would not progress further. I also could not connect to the SSH. After a30 seconds or so the pi restarted itself and then went back to its initial behaviour (wrong resolution).

I followed your instructions from this other thread and the display is now successfully working with correct resolution Thank you for your help, very much appreciated

For anyone else who stumbles on this thread the full steps to get this display working with RPi5 are:

Add dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi5 to the userconfig.txt file
Reboot
Access the Volumio web UI and disable the Touch Display plugin
SSH to the RPi and switch to root using sudo su
Execute:

cat >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-vc4.conf <<EOL
Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier "vc4"
    MatchDriver "vc4"
    Driver "modesetting"
    Option "PrimaryGPU" "true"
EndSection
EOL

Re-enable the Touch Display plugin.
