      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?

                      nothing login related there

                      Not sure what you mean?

                        @liminal1 the terminal window has nothing to do with login.

                        your system should boot to the desktop
                        then open a terminal window
                        and type the commands above

                        or use an ssh session from your pc

                              I just cant believe how trash this all is, not MM, but just the Pi 5 and wayland. And if you do switch back to X11 as a lot of people are suggesting. Everything else breaks.

                              I give up, I think its pretty rubbish Pi foundation selling something that’s still so undeveloped.

                              Anyway, thanks for trying :)
