        Not sure I understand what you mean. I’m doing all of this using ssh.

        Does this help?

        michel@orangepizero2:~$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-orangepi-defaults.conf 
        Section "Monitor"
        	Identifier		"Monitor0"
        	Option			"DPMS" "false"
        EndSection
        Section "ServerFlags"
        	Option			"BlankTime" "0"
        	Option			"StandbyTime" "0"
        	Option			"SuspendTime" "0"
        	Option			"OffTime" "0"
        EndSection
        # rotate the screen
        Section "Device"
            Identifier "default"
            Driver "fbdev"
            Option "Rotate" "CCW"
        EndSection
        

        I just added the rotation part and it rotated the desktop. The identifier seems to be " Monitor0"

          @michelw ok, using command line

          cd ~/MagicMirror
          export DISPLAY=Monitor0
          npm start
          

          if that works then edit installers/mm.sh and add that export before the npm start

          then pm2 start should work

                    Yes chromium seems to work. I installed vnc server since this SBC is in my mirror and I have now way to attach a mouse.

                      Not sure what you are trying to say by pointing me to the 9to5 article. Is there something relevant in there i missed? :)

                        I just played around with the DISPLAY parameter and when setting:

                        michel@orangepizero2:~/MagicMirror$ export DISPLAY=:1

                        0f3dacac-c919-4a08-856e-849e5e76708b-image.png

                        So this seems to be related to the output somehow.

                              Ah right.

                              I would like to thank you very much for all your help.

                              Went looking for a second hand Raspberry PI 4B 1G today and found one. A little expensive but at least I have something more compatible now so I at least can get the magicmirror running :)

                              Still willing to help out (testing) if you would like to make your script Orange Pi Zero 2 compatible. That might help others.

                                  @michelw it’s not the script, it’s the assumption by the mm startup, defined in package.json), that DISPLAY needs to be :0 if not already set.
