is it ok? the display is working with pi os and moode audio . do I need to install any drivers for volumio for this particular display
You have the display connected to DSI0. Either connect it to DSI1 (which appears to be Waveshare’s default for this display) or try changing
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch
to
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch,dsi0

Tried it but no activity on screen 
Did you try both options I mentioned?
Did you get any error messages from the UI? If so, what did they tell?
Did you modify “/boot/config.txt” or “/boot/volumioconfig.txt”?
Did you change the root password?
Nice … I’ll give it a go once everything else settles down.
Trying to get this screen working on a rPi5 with Volumio.
If I boot with Rapberry PI OS , the screen works showing me the desktop.
With Volumio it’s just dead.
Any advise what to do?
In the config.txt of Rapberry PI OS:
display_auto_detect=1
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2
disable_fw_kms_setup=1
disable_overscan=1
arm_boost=1
dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host
on a rPi4 it works without problems with Volumio, without any settings added to config.txt or userconfig,txt.
The original disp cable is connected to the slot which is the closest to the USB-C power socket.

From Waveshare’s wiki:
For the Pi5, use the Bookworm system. (Please note, Pi5 currently only supports Bookworm, not Bullseye or Buster.)
Merde, couldn’t find the link to the wiki 
Then we have to wait for Bookworm.
The error messages indicates that the Touch Display plugin has not been installed properly.
Please answer my questions from above.
Thanks for the info on nohdmi. I just switched back to DSI and got everything working by adding nohdmi.
Hi All
1- I use: Waveshare 7.9inch DSI, with VOLUMIO VERSION: 3.757:
2- I set:useconfig
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel,7_9_inch
3- Rotate lcd:
sudo nano /home/volumio/.config/openbox/autostart
xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate left
4- I did not install Driver waveshare LCD 7.9, because I do not know.
5- Result: LCD display is very nice,
But there is a problem: LCD cannot be touched, please watch the video.
Does anyone know how to fix it? Please help me. Thank you very much!
Hello all,
I was on here a few months ago and everyone was really helpful getting my Volumio to work on my pi4.
Things have now changed so I’m trying to use the 7.9 dsi screen on a raspberry pi5.
In userconfig I have entered “dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel,7_9_inch”
Nothing appears on my screen. Am I right in what I am putting into userconfig?
Thanks for your help.
Hey,
i need some help to install this 2.8" Waveshare display https://www.waveshare.com/2.8inch-dsi-lcd.htm
Installed the touch display plugin and put this files to the config.txt
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel,2_8_inch
Screen is still black only a green light on the back of the display is flashing.
Can somebody hlep me?
I use RPI4 and latest Volumio OS.
Hi again,
i put this lines
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel,2_8_inch
now in the userconfig.txt
Now after booting the green light stops flashing and the backlight starts to shine.
But no picture, no bootscreen. Nothing.
You don’t need the xrandr command to turn the screen.
In userconfig.txt:
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel,7_9_inch,rotation=90
or “rotation=270” depending on in which direction you turned your display.
In the settings of the plugin “Touch Display”, in the section “Orientation Settings”, set the parameter “Rotate Screen Content By” to “90°” (or “270°”).
Now the touch functionality should work everywhere on the screen.
Hello,
Wondering if anyone can help.
I’m running Volumio version 3.785 on a raspberry pi5 4gb
I am trying to run Volumio on a Waveshare 7.9 inch. To userconfig.txt. I have added:
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi5,dsi1
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-panel,7_9_inch
I have tried removing the dis1 command, as well as the top command but still nothing happens. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks for any help available.
