Geeekpi 5inch 800x480 screen - cant get it working
Hi guys,
I had a Geeekpi 5inch screen for the Pi 3b laying around.
I bought this last year to monitor my PC temperatures.
I came across this a few weeks ago, and started right away, super cool!!
But.....I can't seem to get a picture on my screen.
The pi is found in the Desktop App.
Tried several displays in the config wizard, but the screen remains blank.
What am i doing wrong?
Would love to see this work, but it i just dont get it.
Try adding this code to your config.txt:
framebuffer_width=800
framebuffer_height=480
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 800 480 60 6 0 0 0 and if that is not enough, try also adding this:
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3dThnx Magnificent3, i'm gonna try that.
To bad, it doenst seem to work.
Added both the config option to the config.txt, but still no display.
Also it doenst hold the edit i did.
So every time i edit config.txt, save, reboot…. and its gone.
Try disabling the overlayFS and edit the config and then enable it again.
Find the overlayFS instructions below:
