Adafruit PiTFT - device not found - SOLVED

Post by Woodspoon »

First off apologies
I'm pretty new at linux stuff and have probably bitten off more than I can chew, so please be gentle.

Ok the problem is
I've bought and installed the 2.8" PiTFT, all soldered in with no apparent problem, following the instructions here diligently http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitf ... stallation everything seems to be giong ok untill this line sudo modprobe fbtft_device name=adafruitts rotate=90 when it fails and returns FATAL: module fbtft device not found, but the screen is powering up.

Being new at this i'm absolutely clueless as to what to do next, if someone could help it would be much appreciated.
If it makes any difference I'm connecting to it through putty.

What version of Raspbian were you using before you started adding our stuff to it?

All fixed now.
Did a full re install of wheezey late last night/early a.m. this morning, and everything seems to be ok now, not too sure what happened but seems to be working now.
Thank you for the response anyway.
