Hi,
I couldn`t rotate my new waveshare 7" 180 so I uninstalled Touch. I cannot install it back:

You need to reinstall Volumio and Touch Display 3.3.8.

No other way?
I have other apps running on that RPi

No, at least not with reasonable effort.

I did factory reset. Could succesfully install Touch Display.
Still cannot turn my waveshure 7" upside down - I do set ratation in TD settings to 180 degrees and reboot with no effect.

What is the exact model name of the display?

What Pi model are you using?

It`s:

RPi 4:

Does rotating by 90 or 270 degrees work?

Yes, it does.

Then I suspect the display not being fully compatible with the driver in use.

You can try adding

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch

to “/boot/userconfig.txt” and executing

mkdir /home/volumio/.config/openbox

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

Then reboot.

No rotation from TD work now. It`s stuck in 270.

Did you already add the two “dtoverlay…” lines? If so, then that’s normal but rotation should not be stuck at 270 deg.

Please post the output of

xrandr --display :0 --query

OK. I did some mess in userconfig,txt before. Now edited once more and it is working.

Screen is in the right position.

Thank you very much gvolt You`re great!

Well, sorry but I still do have issues with my touch screen. It crashed the whole system a while after my previous message :-/

I reinstalled and corrected userconfig. Volumio works. Screen is rotated in the right position.

but

Volumio operated from the screen is very slaggish. It is almost impossible to do anything because it is so slow. When operated from the web interface it runs like hell - no issues.

Any ideas? :slight_smile:

This is me from the future. :smile:
I have motre observations - please see my next post below.
