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

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.
