Venus OS 3.72 display issues after update

finally updated my Raspberry pi 3b from 3.55 to 3.72… what a mistake! Screen is messed up now. specifically the touch screen no longer times out and dims, the touch calibration is gone. In fact its upsidedown and reversed! SSH login password was reset. and because of the touch issue it took me hours to successfully set a password to be able to login! Add to that even if you select “classic GUI” for the remote session, you still get the “NEW GUI” which is missing menu options. Add to that when the device reboots it doesn’t land on the display page that shows you consumption, energy flow, etc. it lands on the first menu page and its almost impossible to change pages because of the touch calibration issue.

in 3.72, how do I fix the touch screen calibration issue as GUIMODS no longer seems to work. is there an alternate method for addressing this?

Also the option to revert back to 3.55 is not an option in 3.72! Looks like that got messed up too

I understand that Victron is producing these builds for us DIY’ers and its open source, but this latest build has some seriously basic issues!

Hi, there are quite a few topics on Pi, guimods and new versions in this section.
Have a scratch around and you should find answers.

I have a RPI 4 and v3.72 works without incident on it. I do not think it is a generic problem with v3.72.

GuiMods alone is not enough to set up all touchscreens. Some work without any tweaks while others need changes to /uboot/config.txt. For these, including rotating the display, I have a package called RpiDisplaySetup that provides a command-line setup script to help with these tweaks and also touchscreen calibration.

If you want to revert to v3.55 you can download

https://updates.victronenergy.com/feeds/venus/release/images/raspberrypi2/venus-image-raspberrypi2-20250403132010-v3.55.rootfs.wic.gz

and place it on a usb flash drive, insert it into the RPI and reboot.
