ill be damned. managed to get it to work using this after some searching

Edit the “config.txt” in the “/boot” directory.

Go to:

“# Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2”

And change “dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d” to “dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d”.

There is a bug in the “vc4-kms-v3d” driver.

After changing in the “config.txt” “vcgencmd display_power 0” returns a “display_power=0”.

Hi all

Can I know what are the solution to schedule on off monitor for the magic mirror?
I’m trying mmm remote control but it’s either I’m doing it wrongly or it doesn’t seems like it’s working.

Appreciate any help please

@MMRIZE if I change to rpi 4 or 5 will that helps?
I put in the calendar and google photo (yes managed to resolve installation issue) and it’s laggy like mad.

By any chance you have solution for point 1)?

will a pi4 or pi5 fix the slowness issue?

@MMRIZE thanks for the explanation. I will give this a shot. But does this mean if the text is too long it won’t move anymore? I kinda like the animation tho. Is this then a hardware limitation and I need to get something better?

@MMRIZE sorry I’m not very good at this… could you provide more context on where and how should I do this and why?

Hi all

just built a rpi3b+ on a monitor and am facing some issue here. appreciate some assistance.

1. how do i schedule monitor on off based on time? i tried tvservice and vcgencmd as cron job but both doesnt work. i installed remote control and module scheduler with the code below but the problem is i cant seem to simulate them instantly now. like for the code below, i saw in the log it says event notification will happen for the next day…?

 {
      module: 'MMM-Remote-Control'
      // uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
      // , position: 'bottom_left'
      // you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
    },

   {
        module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
        config: {
            notification_schedule: [
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN ON At 10:00
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '00 10 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITORON"}},
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN OFF At 00:00 
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '00 00 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITOROFF"}}
            ]
        }
   }

2. i have mmm calendar ext3 installed. the mirror seems to be lagging quite badly. the text that is hovering from right to left in the calendar is not smooth but rather stuttering. not sure why?

3. cant install mmm googlephoto. my installation keep getting stuck at timing reifyNode:node_modules/moment Completed in 14044ms.

appreciate any advise please!

just to give an update to my earlier post.
i manage to get the browser to show mm on my phone but not my ipad. could this be an issue of old safari browser or something along those line?

i set mirror config ip to pc ip address, ipwhitelist []…
pc webbrowser via ip address and electron works. but using ipad via ipaddress of pc, it shows black screen. terminal show fetching module. so it seems like its working but black screen…?
