HELP! (FAQ)

My PiTFT used to work, now it doesn't!

If you messed with /boot/config.txt or /etc/rc.local you may have removed or disabled some of the elements required

for the PiTFT to work. Try re-running the Easy Installer script!

I'm booting my Pi with the PiTFT and the HDMI output 'locks up' during boot!

It looks like the Pi is 'halting' or 'locking' up during boot but what is really happening is the console is switching

from the HDMI output to the PiTFT console output.

Check your PiTFT connections, particularly make sure you seated the PiTFT on the Pi properly, nothing is in the

way, and the TFT flex connector is seated properly.

My PiTFT works for a bit and then I get a black screen with a short line of white pixels in one corner

Sounds like you tried to configure your Pi to 'boot straight to X', that is, start up the graphics interface on boot. This

doesn't work by default because the Pi operating system is not expecting a PiTFT so it boots to the HDMI output.

See below for how to set up your Pi to boot to X on the PiTFT

To 'fix' this, you can either connect an HDMI monitor, then in a terminal window run sudo raspi-config and configure

the Pi to boot to the command line not X! If you do not have an HDMI monitor, you can also try a console cable

I'm tring to run startx and I get FATAL: Module g2d_23 not found.

don't forget you have to remove the turbo file!

sudo mv /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf ~
