Yes. Exactly
I have the exact same problem
Used to work perfectly with the patched drivers on older Volumio versions from wave share but now it doesn’t with the new way of doing things
Did you ever solve this? mine does the same
Hello
A small problem with Plugin “Touch Display 3.4.0” & “Waveshare DSI LCD 7.9inch”…no matter what I “touch”, it doesn’t work, either another window opens or the display doesn’t respond at all… Plugin current version…no other plugins installed at the moment (except “Now Playing”)
Otherwise the display works… (image)
On other systems (Bullseye, Bookworm, other Linux) the display works perfectly…
RaspiPi 4, 8GB, Eeprom is the latest version
Waveshare DSI LCD 7.9inch
USB stick Sandisk 512GB
LAN
Current Volumio 3.703 (newly installed)…
I had the same problem with the beta versions
Kind Regards
Camelot631
what is the output of
cat /boot/config.txt
cat /boot/userconfig.txt
If the touch is rotated by 90 degress, have a look here:
Hello @Weathen
I did it like this…
The results are attached… I installed the modified “waveshare_*.dtbo” and it is in the /boot/overlays directory
NO display entry in the “cmdline.txt” (video=DSI-1:400x1280e). I don’t know whether this additional entry is absolutely necessary… it has no effect anyway (I’ve tested it)…
The touch only works with difficulty and not where I put my finger/pen… and if it does, the wrong menu opens…

Small addendum…
I also tested this with a “Waveshare DSL LCD 7inch (C)”…
Works perfectly…
I could not get the Waveshare 7-inch display to work with Volumio and pi 5, the display works perfectly if I connect it to a Pi 3 with the same card . can someone help me in configuring it?
please show the ouput of:
cat /boot/userconfig.txt
And read this topic, it will help you moving forward.
Does the display show Volumio’s boot screen and after that a login prompt?
Please check if the DSI cable is connected properly.
Hi @gvolt
Need your help again.
Bought a crappy LCD from Amazon for testing, but can’t get it to work.
All have so far is either full white or full black.

Only during boot I see a fast flash of the Volumio logo.
If the linked wiki is correct you probably are using the wrong overlay. AFAIK “tft35a” is needed instead of “mhs35”. For non-Pi5 systems the following steps worked in the past:
sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo
sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-input-evdev
sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/45-evdev.conf
sudo curl -L https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show/raw/master/usr/tft35a-overlay.dtb -o /boot/overlays/tft35a.dtbo
sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goodtft/LCD-show/master/usr/99-calibration.conf-35-90 -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goodtft/LCD-show/master/usr/99-fbturbo.conf -o /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
cat >> /boot/userconfig.txt <<EOL
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=tft35a
EOL
I shows a little more life, the error is gone and get a white square moving fast form bottom to top.
I think it;s smarter to start from a factory reset.
The wiki seems the correct one, as it got the same instructions as the Chinese paper that came with it.
Hm, the linked wiki under “Install LCD driver” contains
sudo rm -rf LCD-show
git clone https://github.com/goodtft/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD35-show
and “LCD35-show” refers to “tft35a” overlay. 
BTW: What’s the Pi model in use?
rpi4-8gb.
it’s confusing,
The paper shows:
git clone https://github.com/lcdgogo/LCD-show.git
chmod -R 755 LCD-show
cd LCD-show
sudo ./MHS35-show
and for some reason all kind of HDMI settings are added to config.txt for a DSI screen…
I should have learned by now to stay away from this cheap stuff…
Indeed!
Before starting from scratch, you may try executing
sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo
for the display to work and
sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-input-evdev
sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/45-evdev.conf
for the touch screen.
too late…
Will do it for my 2nd run, mid way installing the touch display and I will leave the LCD-SHow crap out of the equation.
While we’re at it, the entries
enable_uart=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 480 320 60 6 0 0 0
hdmi_drive=2
the “MHS35-show” script wants to write to “/boot/config.txt” are neither necessary for the display nor the touch screen - but at least they would not prevent the display from functioning and are just superfluous …
Had to start from scratch again, the plugin got looping between install and uninstall. (network hiccup broken packages)
I will leave everything else out for now, just the thinsg you gave me. Once there is light I can do some additional tuning.
Only ran the first set of instructions and there is light.
Need to figure out how to rotate the thing.
Seems it accepts, dtoverlay=tft35a:rotate=90
Darn, he did it again.
