Hi, Fabian.
I don't have any WaveShare screens but I do have a non-touch 3.75" Kuman HDMI LCD screen in RPi designed to mount directly on an RPi (only to draw power via the GPIO) and with an HDMI jumper to the RPi. ATM, it's sitting on an RPi3B running moOde 7.6.1 (still!) and is working fine with the default config.txt settings.
What model Pi and what specifically does "not working" mean? Do you see anything on the screen when you turn power on? I see a Kuman splach screen then the typical Linux boot-up console output.
Regards,
Kent

Thank for your answer
My system is based on a Pi Zero 2 W with is own power
and the screen with is own power too
And betwen them, an HDMI2 cable (15cm long)
I can't see nothing on screen, only the backlight led are on and sometime to time a thin horizontal white line durant a short moment.

@From Hell
I don't see anything controversial about the config.txt settings recommended in WaveShare doc. Basically, it boosts the HDMI signal and defines a 1024x600 screen mode. However, I notice in the same doc the following:
Quote:If you use the Buster branch system, you can use it according to the above configuration. But if you are using the Bullseye branch system, you need to modify the default KMS driver to FKMS driver to display the system desktop normally
Modification method: Open the config.txt file in the root directory of the TF card, find the following line:
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
change into
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
Since moOde 8.2.2 is built on Bullseye perhaps you need to set this dtoverlay parameter. (It's not defined either way in the /boot/config.txt file distributed with moOde.)
Just my 2-cents worth.

Try to add the below on the config.txt
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 1020 600 60 6 0 0 0
hdmi_drive=1
