Hardware known to work
Configuration
Follow the manufacturer instructions on how to install your screen. In general if you see a white screen, then it's not properly installed, ensure that you at least see a console, Then install KlipperScreen, if you are having troubles refer to the troubleshooting page for further information.
Screen rotation
Currently there is no support for rotation at runtime, do not use xrandr to rotate the screen. Configure the server to start in the desired orientation, there are many ways to achieve this, here is one:
Create /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf
Paste this section modifying the options to suit your needs:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DPI-1"
# This identifier would be the same as the name of the connector printed by xrandr.
# it can be "HDMI-0" "DisplayPort-0", "DSI-0", "DVI-0", "DPI-0" etc
Option "Rotate" "left"
# Valid rotation options are normal,inverted,left,right
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"
# May be necesary if you are not getting your prefered resolution.
EndSection
Save the file and restart KlipperScreen.
sudo service KlipperScreen restart
Touchscreen touch rotation
If your touchscreen isn't registering touches properly after the screen has been rotated, you will need to apply a transformation matrix.
First you will need your device name, on a terminal run:
DISPLAY=:0 xinput
Output:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ADS7846 Touchscreen id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
In this case the device is the ADS7846 Touchscreen, yours may be different
You can test a change by running:
DISPLAY=:0 xinput set-prop "<device name>" 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' <matrix>
Where the matrix can be one of the following options:
- 0°:
1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 - 90° Clockwise:
0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 - 90° Counter-Clockwise:
0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1 - 180° (Inverts X and Y):
-1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1 - invert Y:
-1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 - invert X:
-1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1
For example:
DISPLAY=:0 xinput set-prop "ADS7846 Touchscreen" 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' -1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1
To make this permanent, modify the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-touchscreen.rules and add following line:
ACTION=="add", ATTRS{name}=="<device name>", ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="<matrix>"
As an alternative if the above doesn't work:
edit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
for example:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput touchscreen catchall"
MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "TransformationMatrix" "0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1"
