Hi,

i am struggeling to get my Display to work. Damn, I bought a
1280x800 DSI 8" https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/8inch_DSI_LCD_(C)
Display from Waveshare (i had good experiance with a, I think, 4" DSI Display. So I didnt expect problems using another Display from them)

On Github there are only a few kernel versions supported:

As i read here, some ppl started to implement the driver directly - but for kernel version >6.1??

Any ideas what would be the best way to move on? Building an own volumio-os image? But how can a define a specific kernel version (Waveshare e.g. supports 5.10.103)

Edit: Using Google and the Kernel Version → i will give it a try:
