Raspberry Pi display not autostarting magic mirror

[EphraimB]

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 I got it to work now. Thank you.

@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
