Pitft stays white when startx.. help...

Post by dmar62 »

I have followed the instructions for the Pitft but can't seem to get a picture on it. When I startx my monitor goes black, but the Pitft stays white. I have tried the "sudo mv/usr.... command and I get " mv: missing destination file operand after /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf~". Can anyone guide me on how to fix the problem? Thanks.

Check the flex cable between the TFT and the PCB. It's easy to pull that slightly askew when assembling the board, and almost impossible to see the difference between a well-seated cable and one that's out of whack.

If that doesn't work, post a photo of your hardware and we'll see if that gives us any clues.
