      After a lot of research and trial and error I finally got it working but there was something that no one has mentioned before. I had to change my video driver in the config from "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4" to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d. Trying different things I did manage to get video from the kms setting but it freezes at the recalbox slpash screen. (The one with the Pac-Man ghosts. Is there a way to get past the screen and load recalbox? BTW Thanks a lot for all your help!

        Nobody mentioned it, because it shouldn't be necessary...
        As far as I know (let me make something clear: I'm not a developer, I'm just an "ordinary" user) this tweak you mention is only necessary due to a bug with CEC PULSE EIGHT on KODI, see here:

        • https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/23883/radpberry-pi4-kodi-black-screen-7-2/14
        • https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/24211/maj-7-1-1-vers-7-2-1-bien-mieux-mais-pb-cec-pulse-eight

        it freezes at the recalbox slpash screen

        It may not be related to the composite cable, see here:

            @iga If it doesn't work automatically, make the changes suggested above and test, it should work.

              @zing You mean change to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d ?

              • yes, i've already try it - same effect as above - stuck at splash screen with pacman

              I'm just wondering is this the case for everyone with 7.2.2 ?

                Ok, i again formatted sd card and install ready image by balenaEtcher.
                And so after change line to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d in config.cfg the picture is appear. ( this is important information, probably it should be added somewhere in the manual)

                      • What is your version of Recalbox (say the version, don't say "latest")?
                      • Did you build your Recalbox yourself, or download a ready-made image from the internet, or did you buy everything ready-made?
                      • What is your hardware?
                      • Are you sure the problem is not the cable? The documentation explains that this can happen with wrong cables.
