Hi all, I have now got a Raspberry Pi touchscreen 2 that I am trying but failing to work with Venus OS. setup helper is installed V9.2 and RpiDisplaySetup V3.16. Venus OS is the latest version. If any one has a solution to fix this issue I would be very great full as I’m at my wits end!!! I also see that Im not the only one who is having this issue. I have also posted on Github on the Rpi setup page. Its been suggested that it may be something to do with DSI but have not a clew what that’s all about. Still if some bright spark is able to find a workable solution I’m sue the world would be very grateful. ---

Good morning and thank you for the reply. So I have had a look, reading something about gpio pins but that’s way out of my pay grade! Then Rpi in the command line, yep had that and did exactly that following the set up but no go unfortunately. Any other suggestions or tips would be appreciated. ---

RpiDisplaySetup actually does not do anything when setting up for the original Raspberry Pi display. Once /etc/venus/headless is removed and system is rebooted, the display simply works. That is why I suggested this issue be opened here. I do not have a RPI Display 2 so can’t look into it further. All I know: The resolution is different between the original and the v2 display. The documentation suggests the v2 display be connected to the second DSI port. Venus OS may not activate this port so maybe connecting to the DSI0 port would work. ---

I am far from an expert on this but after purchasing a touch 2 display and having no luck getting it working I started poking around trying to see if I could find a work-around. It appears that perhaps Kernel version 6.17/6.19 might have been the earliest to have support for the new version 2 screens, and it seems Venus OS is still on 5.1… not sure if there is a workaround to get these working or if we are stuck until VenusOS makes its way to a more modern kernel version. Does anyone know if there are any plans for a Kernel version jump?
