Hi guys,
I'm trying to get my Elecrow 5 Inch TFT screen to work. It's ancient and a bit rubbish but the one I've got.
There's an official tutorial for it here: https://www.elecrow.com/wiki/hdmi-inter ... splay.html
But I wanted to try to see if I could get it working on my Pi4 with the new Wayland / Labwc stuff.
But from what I can tell, the install script that the linked above setup instruction has me run includes lines that I think are forcing the device to need to use X11 instead of Wayland, especially frustrating as I'd like to utilise the new Pi Connect stuff. I get the impression it's specially installing the touch input stuff in X11 and I suspect Elecrow won't be much interested in providing an update for this latest bit of kit.
Things start getting difficult from the bit where it has me run this `LCD5-show` script, the contents of which I'm pasting below in hope someone might look at it and say "oh, well you can do that in Wayland/Labwc with this instead"![😅]()
