That is a heck of a modprobe line. Where did you find all of that > info? Was that in the waveshare website. hi, Paul, that modprobe line originally came from Jan Grulich over on the TCL forum fbtft thread. It works, so I have never delved further into it. I plan to do the same on 3.20 on my return from family business, but you are welcome to take / use anything I've posted to help others.

Hi Paul,
many thanks for your explanations. Do you think this feature could be an
option for a future pCP version?
Cheers Joerg

The staging drivers are present in that kernel too. There are a fair number of folks trying to do this, I can include these tft staging drivers in our touchscreen-KERNEL.tcz extension. Also, if you put your modified applets here "~/.jivelite/userpath/applets/" then restart jivelite, these copies should override the default extensions in the jivelite tcz. You will probably need the full applet in this location, not just the modified files...but not 100% sure on this point. That will at least save folks from having to make custom extensions. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107366 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

should work, since I've used the generic screen drivers - you may need different modprobe parameters, but I guess adafruit can help you with that. let me know how you get on - if you get it to work I would be happy to add any changes required to the website under an addendum for your display. good luck, NWJ nowhinjing's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64754 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107366 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
