3.5 LCD Touchscreen ?
I have 2 Waveshare 5 Inch resistive touchscreen’s (non USB) running following this guide to install the drivers.
http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch_HDMI_LCD
I suppose that for your 3.5 Inch version you could follow this guide:
Yes. Both of these Waveshare 5′ displays

There are some nice videos on YouTube:
I manage to use a (knock-off) WaveShare 3.5 (Version A).
I bought it on Aliexpress .I followed the Method 1 described here: http://www.waveshare.com/wiki/3.5inch_RPi_LCD_(A)
After unpacking the driver file (http://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/4/4b/LCD-show-161112.tar.gz)
I ran the installer:
sudo ./LCD35-showAfter rebooting, i can see the screen displaying the startup log, but X was not starting.
After investigating Xorg.0.log, i understand that for some reason the X display module is not working.
I found the following workaround.
I modified the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
replacing the line
Driver “fbturbo”
with
Driver “fbdev”After rebooting, I can see the desktop.
I have been able to run JiveLite.
Unfortunately, the available skin are not optimized for the 480×320 display.
2 options here:
– You can use the skin for adafruit 2.8 . but it the skin will use only 2/3 of the available screen area.
– You can tweak Joggler for our screen resolution:
edit the following file:
/opt/jivelite/jivelite/share/jive/applets/JogglerSkin/JogglerSkinApplet.luaand modify line 290
Framework:setVideoMode(480, 320, 0, false)The modified joggler is not perfect, but it is working.
i am still looking for a skin dedicated to 480×320 resolution.
EDIT: Found this one : http://www.pughx2.com/assets/px2/files/jivelite-wav.zip (see complete how-to here http://www.pughx2.com/pitouch.html)
I will try it tonightHello Sorg,
Thanks for the display guide.
i was looking for jivelite-wav.zip but the file is not in the web directory anymore.
( the original link was http://pughx2.com/assets/px2/files/jivelite-wav.zip)Is there a posibillity to get the file through this forum? google did not give any other result then the original link.
Maybe you or someone on the forum still has the file. I don’t know if there any copyrights on it?Through this forum i have managed to get a cheap 3.5 display working under max2play and i like to have the 480×320 skin for it.
thanks guys.
Hello, Heiner. Seems, that you see something different than me.
Now I see this
Yesterday my post was here, but after editing it is gone.
But there was this one:
Hello.I have done it right now (based on m2p_stretch_rpi_245.img). Steps are included driver installation for Sharewave 3.5 LCD (I have bought this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-Raspberry-Pi-3-Model-B-3-5-Inches-Touch-Screen-Display-Monitor-480×320-LCD-Kit/32837597848.html )
$ wget https://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/1/1e/LCD-show-180817.tar.gz
$ tar xvf LCD-show-180817.tar.gz
$ cd LCD-show
$ chmod +x LCD35-show
$ ./LCD35-show#after installing of packages and automatic rebooting LCD works, but it is needed to change Driver#
$ sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
#replace the line Driver „fbturbo“ with Driver „fbdev“, then ctrl+o, ctrl=x#
$ sudo reboot#After that desktop\jivelite should work#
Regarding jivelite skin for 480×320 resolution:
$ cd /opt/jivelite/jivelite/share/jive/applets/SetupWallpaper
$ sudo rm SetupWallpaperApplet.lua
$ sudo rm SetupWallpaperMeta.lua
$ sudo rm strings.txt
$ sudo wget https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite/raw/master/share/jive/applets/SetupWallpaper/SetupWallpaperApplet.lua
$ sudo wget https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite/raw/master/share/jive/applets/SetupWallpaper/SetupWallpaperMeta.lua
$ sudo wget https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite/raw/master/share/jive/applets/SetupWallpaper/strings.txt
$ sudo mkdir /tempimage
$ cd
$ sudo wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/picoreplayer/beta/pcp-jivelite_wav35skin.tcz
$ sudo mount -o loop pcp-jivelite_wav35skin.tcz /tempimage
$ cd /tempimage/opt/jivelite/share/jive
$ sudo cp -a applets /opt/jivelite/jivelite/share/jive/
$ sudo reboot#After that you can choose “WAV 3.5 in LCD Skin” in Settings\Screen\Select Skin #
