Addendum: The screen rotation issues are not 100% resolved with the above. The login screen is not accessible on the DSI display, only in VNC for me. To get around this I did the following: ** in /home/ubuntu/: nano ~/enable-dsi.sh then paste: !/bin/sh Give the X session a few seconds to settle sleep 5 Force the DSI output to be active and in the proper mode /usr/bin/xrandr --output DSI-1 --auto /usr/bin/xrandr --output DSI-1 --mode 720x1280 --rotate right Disable screensaver and power management...
Update: Mostly solved. It seems that screen orientation is a common problem (based on the many web pages). Much of the stuff on the web is wrong (or at least, did not work for me). 1) You need to make the dsi display screen primary. In config.txt file, comment out anything that mentions hdmi. 2) the correct screen driver needs these two lines: dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-ili9881-7inch,rotation=90 (Note: the "rotation=90" doesn't seem to actually do anything), but doesn't hurt.) 3)...
I think you may be on to something about more than one monitor. I was able to VNC in and found a way to switch to monitor 1 and the menus appeared. I'm not sure how to get that to work on the touch screen yet Thanks!
Progress: I got the wallpaper to display by: Needed both of the following: dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-ili9881-7inch It appears screen is rotated, and not menus shown. I'll tackle that next Bob
RPi4, Touch-2, 7", DSI touchscreen - blank screen
Hi - I'm trying to install dragonOS on RPI5 using the official touch-2 (7") touch screen. The screen works with Bookworm, but not with DragonOS. I've tried many fixes including changing dtoverlay to the many variations similar to: dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d to no avail. I'm not even sure if this is where the problem lies. Any suggesions to help this NOOB begin to address the issue? Thx 73 WA2I
