Local Display 8.8 in 1920x480

[steve4star]

You will probably need to correct the screen size in the xinit.rc file. 

Code:

SCREENSIZE="1920,480"

Thanks by your response. I am a newbie on this type of configuration.  Where is this file located? Is it necessary to alter the config.txt or any other file before?

QJA

you will need to edit the file .xinitrc e.g.

Code:

sudo nano ~/.xinit.rc

my screen requires the commands to rotate too, I have edited the file to include the following:

Code:

#Force rotation for Waveshare
xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate right --mode 320x1480

# Capture screen size
#SCREENSIZE="$(fbset -s | awk '$1 == "geometry" { print $2","$3 }')"
SCREENSIZE="1480,320"

adjust to suit your rotation direction and screen size of the device.

Once done you can restart the local display from the web menu for peripherals.
