@nadirfly Regarding the touch function: The display has no ADS7846 touch controller but an XPT2046. Please try removing all entries from your “/boot/userconfig.txt” except dtparam=spi=on
.

Interesting… please additionally post the the output of
sudo ls -al /sys/devices/platform/soc/fe204000.spi/spi_master/spi0/spi0.0/backlight/fb_ili9486
sudo ls -al /sys/devices/platform/soc/fe204000.spi/spi_master/spi0/spi0.0/backlight/fb_ili9486
ls: cannot access ‘/sys/devices/platform/soc/fe204000.spi/spi_master/spi0/spi0.0/backlight/fb_ili9486’: No such file or directory
now after editing the config.txt file I no longer have the brightness adjustment

Well, this is not the display you confirmed to me before. Instead your display seems to be this one .

That display has an ADS7846 touch controller… so you would probably have to add the ads7846 overlay and its params back to your “/boot/userconfig.txt”. After that please again execute
sudo ls -al /sys/devices/platform/soc/fe204000.spi/spi_master/spi0/spi0.0/backlight/fb_ili9486
and post the result.

@nadirfly Please add
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4
to your “/boot/userconfig.txt”, too.

Does the error message still occur?
Did you already add
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4
to “/boot/userconfig.txt” and does that help with the touch function?
this is my file now… the error is gone… but the touch not work!
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4
#dtoverlay=ads7846
#dtparam=cs=1
#dtparam=penirq=25
#dtparam=penirq_pull=2
#dtparam=speed=50000
#dtparam=swapxy=0
#dtparam=pmax=255
#dtparam=xohms=150
#dtparam=xmin=200
#dtparam=xmax=3900
#dtparam=ymin=200
#dtparam=ymax=3900
Add your custom config.txt options to this file, which will be preserved duri$
#dtoverlay=piscreen,speed=16000000,rotate=90

dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4
dtoverlay=ads7846
dtparam=cs=1
dtparam=penirq=25
dtparam=penirq_pull=2
dtparam=speed=50000
dtparam=swapxy=0
dtparam=pmax=255
dtparam=xohms=150
dtparam=xmin=200
dtparam=xmax=3900
dtparam=ymin=200
dtparam=ymax=3900

Does this imply that the touch function does not work with the settings from my previous post?
