Hi, i have purchased multiple touch screens and followed several tutorials on You Tube but can’t get any of them to work with venus os on a rasberi PI. The latest touch screen was the official pi touch display 2 but also doesn’t work. can anyone help please. thanks

I have a Rpi 3b+ with the original 7 inch DSI display and everything works as it should. Of course you have to download the touch drivers from Kevin Windrem on github… kwindrem · GitHub

I have an open issue on RpiDisplaySetup on GitHub indicating the Display 2 version does not work with Venus OS. The poster gave up and found an alternate display that did work so this issue remains unresolved.

I do not have a Display 2 so I can’t figure out why it does not work.

Hi, is there a display that seem to work with the Venus os on pi? I have tried several with no luck. Thanks

Hi

Did you get any further with a solution to this please?

I foolishly just bought a 5” Rpi Touchscreen 2 which won’t work with Venus. It’s fine with Raspian.

Thanks

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.

I have a UCTRONICS Model Number U610401 “7in Capacitive LCD IPS Touchscreen for Raspberry Pi” which works as a display for Venus OS on Pi4B. It doesn’t do any automatic dimming, and it doesn’t do automatic blanking or power off (which I think is true for just about all of these except the screen made for raspberry pi.) There might be a better option available, but I can confirm that this one works.

Thank you for the reply. The more I look into this the more I find that people are just giving up and getting a different screen!!
