      @devonian69 Do you mean just a normal update for the module?

        Hey guys,

        So how did you get this to work? vc4.force_hotplug ive added that to /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt

        But now what?

        Im running Raspbian on a Pi 5, so not sure if all of this is even for bookwork :(

        Thanks

          @liminal1 note that rapios on pi4 and 5 use a new display manager called Wayland.

          so all the commands for display MGMT have changed. see the commands posted above.

          or set the os back to x11. see the raspi-config command

            I did try those commands, they are not working for me. Maybe I need more context for that (which is essentially what I was asking for :) Or I switch back to a slower and less efficient display model that negates having a Pi 5. Is that a correct asumption?

            Maybe I wasn’t clear, but Im just asking if anyone does have it working on the Pi 5 with Bookworm. What did you use and how did you do it?

            Thank you :)

                @liminal1 doesn’t matter 4 or 5. As long as bookworm wayland, it’s working fine. For what’s worth, I’m on a 5.

                  If I create that script and run it, it brings up a logon page :(

                      @liminal1 that makes no sense.

                      you are running this from a terminal window, right

                      ctrl-alt-t on the desktop.

                      nothing login related there

                        Its a touch screen, what does this do?
