[SOLVED]2.8"TFT working until I raspi-config and select auto

Post by spookywatcher »

I have the pi and the Adafruit 2.8"tft. Followed the tutorial here: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitf ... spberry-pi and got everything working. Even got the touchscreen to be the default display for console.

When I

Code: Select all

startX
it boots to gui using the touchscreen and works perfectly.

Now I want to enable autologin to gui via

Code: Select all

raspi-config
and have it boot straight to gui using the touchscreen.

But when I do this...and boot up...it starts booting using touchscreen for the early text stuff. Then when it starts the gui it defaults back to HDMI.

Yet if I kill x and from the console

Code: Select all

startX
it goes right back to touchscreen gui.
I'm sure I'm missing some small setting somewhere...and have searched for 7 hours but cannot figure out how to get it to boot straight to gui and autologin using the touchscreen.

Anyone with ideas?

Sorry for the post...I don't know how I missed the solution posted in a thread 30 pages deep. Must have just gone cross eyed the first time going through the posts. Solution is located at http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 28&t=66184
