Waveshare 11.9 touch display with raspberry pi 5

Help and Support
1

Hello everyone, as per the title, I’m using a Waveshare 11.9 IPS display. The configuration I’m using is:

max_framebuffer_height=1480
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_timings=320 0 80 16 32 1480 0
16 412 0 0 0 60 0 42000000 3
display_rotate=1 #1: 90; 2:180; 3:270

The result is that when I restart the volumio, this happens.

After rebooting, the main volumio screen appears correctly. Using the plugin setting a rotation of 270°, everything works fine.

What can I do to make the volumio display appear correctly horizontal when booting?

I’ll start by saying that the problem is only with pi5, while with pi4 everything works perfectly.

I’m hoping for help because I’ve tried everything, I think. Thank you
