Hardware
There are no recommended screens, but the minimum supported resolution is 480x320.
In general, if the device can show a GNU/Linux desktop, then KlipperScreen should work too.
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
Configure the server to start in the desired orientation, there are many ways to achieve this, here are some examples:
!!! warning Rotation is handled by the OS and not by KlipperScreen, if you can't rotate your screen it's usually an issue with the OS configuration
???+ example
Create /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf
```bash
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.
```bash
sudo service KlipperScreen restart
```
??? example "Using Waveshare screen that is installed with LCD-show"
```bash
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./LCD43-show 270 lite
```
??? example "Using a screen installed with goodtft-LCD-show"
```bash
cd LCD-show/
sudo ./rotate.sh 90
```
??? example "Raspberry Pi"
To set screen orientation when in console mode, you will need to edit the kernel command line to pass the required orientation to the system.
```bash
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
```
To rotate by 90 degrees clockwise, add the following to the cmdline, making sure everything is on the same line, do not add any carriage returns. Possible rotation values are 0, 90, 180 and 270.
```bash
video=DSI-1:800x480@60,rotate=90
```
Other values can be "HDMI-0" "HDMI-1, "DPI-0" etc

??? example "Raspberry Pi legacy mode (works with vc4-fkms-v3d)"
add to config.txt
```bash
display_lcd_rotate=2
```
Reboot
!!! warning
Pi4 doesn't support 90 and 270 degrees with this method, [see the official docs](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html#display_hdmi_rotate)
| Value | result |
| ---------- | ---------- |
| 0 | no rotation |
| 1 | rotate 90 degrees clockwise |
| 2 | rotate 180 degrees clockwise |
| 3 | rotate 270 degrees clockwise |
| 0x10000h | horizontal flip |
| 0x20000 | vertical flip |

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"
