Volumio Version: 3.073
Hardware: raspberry pi 4b
DAC: khadas tone 1.
i’m trying to get 3.5 inch touchscreen working with buster beta 3.
unfortunately I can’t get it working, during booting the screen goes from light to dark and I get the error (xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused) see also log!
is a newly installed volumio buster beta 3 image.
Create a directory for unzipping the plugin package
mkdir touch_display
Unzip the plugin package to the newly created directory
miniunzip touch_display.zip -d touch_display
Change into the directory with the unzipped files
cd touch_display
Install the plugin
volumio plugin install
When the installation process has finished you will see some finalize message (don’t remember the wording in detail) on the command line. You will probably have to hit “Ctrl+c” to return to the prompt.
Optionally delete the downloaded file and the unzipped files:

applied this, but now the screen remains blank, I have set it back to original.
what I don’t understand is that with volumio 2 (don’t know exactly which version but one of the last ones) it just works.

I guess the driver “fbturbo”, i.e. the file “/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fbturbo_drv.so”, is missing which prevents the xserver from starting if “fbturbo” is given as the driver to use (here in “99-fbturbo.conf”).
After you renamed “99-fbturbo.conf” (so it wasn’t applied anymore) the driver “fbdev” has been used. Now the xserver runs but you (still) have no image. This could be caused by using the wrong framebuffer.
So what you could try next is renaming “99-fbturbo.conf.bak” back to “99-fbturbo.conf” and changing the driver from “fbturbo” to “fbdev”:
Driver "fbdev"
So the driver “fbdev” would be loaded and framebuffer 1 would be used.
If the screen remains black you could experiment with setting
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
to
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
Or instead of all that above:
Try to install fbturbo driver by
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo
I think on Buster the package does not get installed automatically along with Xorg because it is marked as “testing”.
So it would be interesting to know if we can get along without it.
yesssss! you were right , I put the name back to “99-fbturbo.conf” and set the driver “fbturbo” to “fbdev” and left the Option “fbdev” “/ dev / fb1” as it is.
i have not tried this: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo
the only thing is that the touch alignment is not correct.
, I put the name back to “99-fbturbo.conf” and set the driver “fbturbo” to “fbdev” and left the Option “fbdev” “/ dev / fb1” as it is.
