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” ）

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.

@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

I use recalbox-rpi4 7.1

The recalbox still stay at that recalbox logo picture always

[DRAgon734235]

@ian57

Your recalbox is 4.6 ？

[ian57]

@DRAgon734235 nop, 7.2 beta do you have something connected on HDMI?

[DRAgon734235]

@ian57
I have tried to connect or not connect HDMI LCD , the HDMI LCD not display

they do not have any effect

@ian57

thank you

where can I download recalbox 7.2 beta ？

I will try that

[ian57]

@DRAgon734235 sorry you cannot it's development only actually
I think it will be soon released.I get this

[DRAgon734235]

@ian57
OK ， I will test when recalbox 7.2 beta come .

it is possible to rotate the DPI or HDMI LCD with 90 or 270 at recalbox 4B？

[ian57]

@DRAgon734235 no not yep... even with new 5.10 kernels

did you see this https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/2.8inch_DPI_LCD there are specific overlays for this screen https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/File:28DPIB_DTBO.zip

I think you should copy them in the /boot/overlays directory and use the config from the wiki :

gpio=0-9=a2
gpio=12-17=a2
gpio=20-25=a2
dtoverlay=dpi24
enable_dpi_lcd=1
display_default_lcd=1
extra_transpose_buffer=2
dpi_group=2
dpi_mode=87
dpi_output_format=0x7F216
hdmi_timings=480 0 26 16 10 640 0 25 10 15 0 0 0 60 0 32000000 1
#dtoverlay=waveshare-28dpi-3b-4b
#dtoverlay=waveshare-28dpi-3b
dtoverlay=waveshare-28dpi-4b

[DRAgon734235]

@ian57

yes ， I use that dtbo file from waveshare

I have tried that code ， same

The LCD can display OK ， but recalbox os can not enter Emulator

I think this is recalbox bug at DPI LCD，
