I will wait for stable version.

Now I can’t rotate and Touch Screen not working. Only this I have few sec.

and restart without Touch Screen.

Touch Screen try to start only first time after “Active On”

I will wait and ask for help on stable 3.584.

Please post the ouput of

ls -al /dev/fb*

and with the Touch Display plugin being started of

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I need to add it to userconfig.txt or on command line after start ??

and this ??

Sorry if it is stupid question.

Not “userconfig.txt”. After connecting to Volumio via SSH paste each command to the command line (one after the other of course :wink:) and hit enter. Copy the output and paste it into your next post in this thread.

volumio@volumio:~$

It is without modifications of userconfig.txt

Stop the Touch Display plugin.

On Volumio’s command line become root by excuting

su

(root’s password is “volumio”, too).

Then execute

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

Start the Touch Display plugin again.

It is my first time :wink: Should I put it line by line ??

If you are still root type

exit

Then execute

mkdir /home/volumio/.config/openbox

and

cat >> /home/volumio/.config/openbox/autostart <<EOL
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate left
EOL

Stop and start the Touch Display plugin.

Do you know if this modification will be included in the next firmware upgrade?

Which one ??

If you asked about working Waveshare 11.9" - my started to work on next firmware 3.584 ( but now it is Beta ver. ). I use it because it was my problem solution.

It would be nice to have a brief sum up of what’s been modified to get it to work. I’ve just picked up the 7.9" display; effectively the same albeit smaller.

I’ve grabbed the beta (3.584) and the display seems to work. Only issue is the touch mapping is off/still orientated for a portrait layout, and I don’t see where that particular tweak is in this thread after a few up and down skims.

TIA

Here was solved 7.9" Pi5 issue .

and here is source by @gvolt :
