I’m trying to get a new Raspberry Touch 2 screen to work with Venus OS. the screen work fine with the latest version of Rasbian.
I’ve replaced Rasbian with Venus OS (3.52) and the screen remains dark, not even a cursor. (No headless file in /etc/venus/)
As the resolution for this screen is better that the old Rasberry screen, i’m assuming it needs different drivers?
I have a partial solution for you guys.
I made a script that enables both 5 and 7 inch functionality.
It is tested only on Pi4. It is working only with the screen connected on the first HDMI port. And the touch functionality is missing. If I have some time, I will continue working on that part.
You can have a keyboard connected over USB until I have the touch part sorted out.
when running the script, it will ask for the screen model, make sure you select the right one
Hi Lucien,
If i read your solution correctly… it is for an HDMI connected screen. I.e. the Waveshare type.
However the screen I have is made by the Raspberry organisation, called “Touch Display 2” specifically version “2” !!
This is connected only with a flat ribbon cable to the “DSI display” socket.
This needs a different solution…
So far i’ve only found the official, Raspberry Pi OS, to work.
Hi all. I am new to the pi and Venus OS so be gentle
I have a pi 4b, 7" touch display. I was running the latest OS.
I cannot get anything other than a black screen. When I ran dmesg | grep -i display it found 1 display… whatever that means
If I run Raspberry OS the screen works fine. I went back to an older version of Venus and no change.
No output from HDMI plug either (the one closest to the power input). I did get the screen output on HDMI a while ago by using the ‘headless.off’ solution.
