Hey everyone! Just got my first dev board and have been having the biggest pain in the world the past couple of days just trying to get the screen to work properly! I have two different screens, both of which just do not want to work at all, the first display i was using was a Hyperpixel 800x480 60fps 3.5" DPI, which i would prefer to use but the furthest i got with it was showing my desktop in inverted colors, reversed, and with a big line covering a tenth of the screen (which just looked like the software and not any hardware damage). So since the furthest I got with that was that, I settled on trying to get my Adafruit 2.8" 320x240 TFT touch screen display to work as I was actually able to get this display to boot to terminal in the terminal only mode with full color and everything seeming to work perfectly, but everytime I try to run startx, it runs the command and freezes the display until i reboot, i notice that it seems to be outputting to the hdmi because when i plug an hdmi in i can see that there is now a desktop environment, but it is not being shown on the mini display at all for some reason, ive tried a few different OSes, followed all instructions I could find, but still after multiple days Im no closer than I was at the start. This is REALLY tuff and at this point I really don't know what to do other than to ask for help. I can provide any information needed, any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! this is literally my first project so im still learning. If anyone knows how to get this or the other screen working i would be so so happy!
Device: Raspberry pi 4 B
Screen: Adafruit 2.8" 320x240 Touch Screen TFT STMPE610 + ILI9341
My only guess is that it has something to do with the 99 fb turbo file. That file was not ever automatically made, and when I did make it, even though it was empty, it would boot the display in the mirrored mode, although i was still stuck in the terminal and it froze everytime i did startx, before i had the 99 fb turbo file, if i tried installing the display drivers in mirrored mode, the display wouldnt work at all, are there specific things i need to put in that file? If anyone has an updated or newer tutorial or idea, please please help! Thank you.
