#### Volumio Information

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!](http://logs.volumio.org/volumiobuster/QJdG9cQ.html)  
is a newly installed volumio buster beta 3 image.

installed according to the following and touch-plug-in manually: [Volumio with 3.5" TFT Touch Screen (GPIO) RPi 3B+](https://community.volumio.com/t/volumio-with-3-5-tft-touch-screen-gpio-rpi-3b/11265)

touch plugin installed according to the following.

1. Download the plugin package

wget [https://github.com/volumio/volumio-plugins/raw/gh-pages/plugins/volumio/armhf/miscellanea/touch\_display/touch\_display.zip](https://github.com/volumio/volumio-plugins/raw/gh-pages/plugins/volumio/armhf/miscellanea/touch_display/touch_display.zip)

1. Create a directory for unzipping the plugin package

mkdir touch\_display

1. Unzip the plugin package to the newly created directory

miniunzip touch\_display.zip -d touch\_display

1. Change into the directory with the unzipped files

cd touch\_display

1. 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.

1. Optionally delete the downloaded file and the unzipped files:

rm touch\_display.zip

rm -r touch\_display

1. Enable the plugin from the UI as usual.

You might try to substitute `dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=90` in “/boot/config.txt” with

```auto
dtoverlay=ads7846
dtparam=cs=1
dtparam=penirq=17
dtparam=penirq_pull=2
dtparam=speed=1000000
dtparam=swapxy=1
dtparam=pmax=255
dtparam=xohms=60
dtparam=xmin=200
dtparam=xmax=3900
dtparam=ymin=200
dtparam=ymax=3900

```

Also, what is the result of

`cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf.bak`?

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.

```auto
volumio@volumio-khadas:~$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf.bak
# This is a minimal sample config file, which can be copied to
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf in order to make the Xorg server pick up
# and load xf86-video-fbturbo driver installed in the system.
#
# When troubleshooting, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for the debugging
# output and error messages.
# Run "man fbturbo" to get additional information about the extra
# configuration options for tuning the driver.

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Allwinner A10/A13/A20 FBDEV"
        Driver "fbturbo"
        Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"

        Option "SwapbuffersWait" "true"

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”:

```auto
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

```auto
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"

```

to

```auto
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.

Are you using the display in portait or landscape mode?

How is your “99-calibration.conf” looking?

`cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf`

Do you think touch is just inaccurate or is it twisted related to the display ir axes swapped or inverted?
