Ok, fair enough.
Wish I’d known this when I started.
Why then is there an "Upgrade"option offered?
for stable version only.
I agree, not clear if you enable beta. But this is for advanced users…
I am trying to get a Waveshare 10.4 screen running on my volumio. The touchscreen plug in fails

Pisichen Touchscreen HDMI 7,8 Zoll HD 1280 x 400P
Hello everyone; I use the HDMI TFT Touch mentioned in the subject line on my Raspberry Pi4; unfortunately I can’t control the display via HDMI with Volumio Touch Plugin;
/boot/userconfig.txt
hdmi_group=2

hdmi_cvt=1280 400 60 6 0 0 0
Does anyone have an idea what else I could do, thanks in advance
Do you see the boot logo and cmd prompt?
Yes I do . I could log in and check the time

thanks in advance for your help
Please try if adding
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi
to “/boot/userconfig.txt” helps.
Thanks for the hint; unfortunately the entry/command line did not bring any success…
Does the display look different with dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi?
Regarding your previous entries in “/boot/userconfig.txt”:
Did you set framebuffer_width=1024 on purpose or should it be framebuffer_width=1280?
After dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi didn’t help I suggest to remove hdmi_timings=400 0 100 10 140 1280 10 20 20 2 0 0 0 60 0 43000000 3.
Thanks for the hint at framebuffers…
I have now commented out the hdmi_timings, unfortunately this fashion resulted in this screen…
You might try the “hdmi_timings” line alternatively to “hdmi_cvt”.
BTW: Where are the values you are using with “hdmi_timings” from?
I’ll try these parameters as well;
I got the settings for hdmi timings from the notes for waveshere 7.9" display because on the dealer page "compatible with Raspberry Pi (waveshare) is/was noted, otherwise unfortunately no info about display except 1280x400 HDMI ISP model available
