      My Raspberry Pi isn’t autostarting Magic Mirror with the 7 inch display connected. It autostarts correctly when connected to a monitor however. Is there something in the pm2 script that I have to do?

          @EphraimB when the 7 in is used open a terminal session ctrl-alt-t

          and do

          echo $DISPLAY

          the line in package.json used for npm start, checks for DISPLAY set in the env, and if not uses :0

          this is needed by x-windows

          you might need to add

          export DISPLAY=:?
          

          to the installers/mm.sh, before the npm start line

          where ? is the display number used for the 7in
