this is my configuration at config.txt

stay at recalbox logo not caused by “hdmi_drive=2”

@Zing

if I use HDMI LCD . the same image with HDMI configuration will work well

@DRAgon734235 I just realized that you are referring to a DPI screen, and I was thinking it was a DVI screen, sorry for the mistake.

You need to read these tutorials:

hello， thank for your replay， I think that three wenlink just work for 3B ， Not 4B

Now I am the 4B DPI problem， at 3B ， the DPI LCD display well 。

I have tried this weblink
https://recalbox.gitbook.io/documentation/tutorials/video/tft/setting-up-your-small-tft-screen-on-the-spi-bus
That just work for 3B ， not work for 4B ，

also tryed this
https://recalbox.gitbook.io/documentation/tutorials/video/tft/second-minitft-for-scrapes-and-videos-ogst-case-raspeberry-pi-1-2-3-spi-dpi-small-tft-screens
add the code

system.secondminitft.enabled=1

this code not have any effect

==================================================
This is my problem， the DPI lcd work well at 3B ， not work well at 4B
your weblink for reference just for 3B not solve 4B problem

@DRAgon734235 that's srtrange but it may comes from the Pi4 3D Accel. Try to comment out the 3D acceleration for pi4 to fall back in Pi3-like running.
With Pi4 3D accel, only 180° rotation is allowed in framebuffer, 90 and 270 do not work

You need to comment

#dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d

in /boot/config.txt
After you should able to rotate the display as in your Pi3 config.

@Zing
DPI LCD same configuration 3B work well

But 4B just stay at this recalbox logo image

[DRAgon734235]

@ian57 said in recalbox not work well with DPI LCD on 4B:

#dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d

After comment
#dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d

Still stay at recalbox logo image

[ian57]

@DRAgon734235 seems that Emulationstation does not like unaccelerated Pi4 config.

When I'll have some time will check on my geekworm dpi screen

OK ，

think you

[DRAgon734235]

@ian57 @Zing

have news ？

[ian57]

@DRAgon734235 Hi,

It works well... but no rotation 90/270° available from the firmware and the overlay... the fondation doc DOES NOT work!

perhaps a lead.. i read something about that the kernel 5.10 supports all rotation from the accelerated overlay... so we need to b*mp to test...

As a sum up ... All the screen are working with acceleration but no 90° 270° actually
only 180°

[DRAgon734235]

my 4b stay at this

Do you have any suggestion ？ （Even in “rotate=0” ）

[DRAgon734235]

@ian57
Do you have any suggestion ？

Waveshare 2.8inch dpi LCD

@DRAgon734235 this screen has 480x640 resolution so you need to rotate it (90 or 270). Actually it seems not to be supported in frambuffer, only with xrandr in GUI. I saw this https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/cmdline-txt.md and tried it but it only works with 0-180° not with 90-270.

[DRAgon734235]

@ian57

I do not rotate the LCD with 90 or 270, the LCD display as the default direction like this image

and the recalbox stay at this picture always

[ian57]

@DRAgon734235 I think you need to use the fdmk overlay instead of the dmks overlay : here is may configuration for my 800x480 dpi screen
