There is somewhat wrong in my config, because the screen does not go blank.
I use the waveshare display, but did NOT configure the screen to be always on. They have this option on their webpage, but I did not use it.
Any suggestions why there might be a conflict? Thank you!
Any idea?
Please post the output of
cat /boot/userconfig.txt
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=400 0 100 10 140 1280 10 20 20 2 0 0 0 60 0 43000000 3
display_rotate=1
I am using a waveshare 7.9 in screen, and the only configuration I did was what they recommended for initial setup. That includes the above plus the touch rotation
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-libinput
sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
and then add Option “CalibrationMatrix” “0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1” in the touchscreen part.
I did NOT set the screen to always ON.
sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms
Again, I did not do this.
There is no need for the touch rotation to add code, there is a button on the back for it. Have the same screen.
I can confirm the screen stays always active. Despite of the setting “No Screensaver while playing” (on/off).
Even after emptying the queue, display stays on.
Tested with:
Volumio: V3.378 and V3.782
Touch Display: V3.5.1 and V3.5.2

Even if I force it via the terminal, it stays on:

xset dpms force off
Screen blinks and turns on again.

Doing the same on a DSI screen, I can control on/off. Releated to HDMI?
Yeah the factory documentation mentions the button as an option. They recommended the software method. Nonetheless I am happy to ditch the factory recs if I can make the screen saver come on and turn off the screen.
Were you ever able to make the screen darken out after some time (when not playing)?
No, as stated in my previous post
I have RPi 4 Model B Rev 1.5
Volumio: 3.779
Official Raspberry Touch Display 2
Screen started working but the touch is moved a few centimeters higher,
I tried everything from previous posts.
This is my config
userconfig.txt
[all]
display_auto_detect=1
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch
display_lcd_rotate=1
display_hdmi_rotate=1
I try with:
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-ili9881-7inch
result is the same.
lsmod.txt (4.5 KB)
Hey @Nebojsa_Artiko,
From your original config you have 90 degree CCW rotation, please try
[all]
display_auto_detect=1
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4,nohdmi
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-ili9881-7inch,rotation=270
display_lcd_rotate=1
display_hdmi_rotate=1
Kind Regards,
That’s it, thank you very much
Hello. I’m having trouble getting my Pi5 and BigTreeTech TFT50 DSI screen to play nice with Volumio.
I have a brand new install of volumio and have only installed the Touch Display plugin, latest versions of OS and Plugin.
I see there is a ton of dtoverlay configurations throughout this thread for various displays, i’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction for my configuration.
I have the TFT50 connected via DSI to “Disp 0” on my Pi5. Thanks for any and all help.
SideNote: I have also confirmed the Pi and TFT50 work just fine together by slapping a MicroSD card with PiOS fresh out of the imager into the Pi and it immediately displays Debian without issue.
UPDATE: I just solved my own issue by continuing to fumble 
I resolved this by setting the below two lines in the userconfig:
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch,dsi0
I had tried before, but never tried to designate dsi0 as I ASSUMED it would be the default display output, but it seems dsi1 is the default… now i know.
hi nerd
I have another question here; have you received the 7.8" display now? If so, have you been able to find a setting that works? If so, I would like more information as the touch function on my display (which now works in the display thanks to the help of Gelo5 and other enthusiasts :-)) unfortunately still doesn’t work; thanks in advance for further information, greetings from the south by ReyNee from Radio-M1, the only one…
Hey @Radio-M1,
After you reported working state, I managed to cancel the order with the supplier.
Now, I would follow @gvolt advices.
For starters (a fresher) detailed description of what does and does not work including corresponding configuration parts as well as logs will shed some light.
Kind Regards,
great, then THANK GOD it worked again (-:perfect.-) for you…;
thanks again for the help and the information;
I will go through gvolt’s msgs again and hope that I can still activate the touch function (display 1280x400 works…) on the darned display (I’ve almost given up…) greets from ReyNee
