      I just switched to 4.5 and Im using a DPI LCD display. It was my understanding that display_default_lcd=0 should make the RPi default to the HDMI output instead of the DPI LCD. CUrrently it doesnt matter what I set display_default_lcd to or remove it entirely. The DPI LCD always is the primary display. I can mirror to the HDMI using gertCloner so I know the HDMI works. However I want to be able to go the other way(HDMI->LCD) because the scaling wont be as noticable(640x480 -> 320x240 will look better than 320x240 -> 640x480).

      I'm using a slightly modified dpi18 overlay(mode 6 instead of mode 5). I dont expect that would have any effect on whether the LCD is default display or not.

      The new image you just released.
      No USB devices
      Replicate by setting up a DPI LCD display.

      Here is my config.txt:

      # Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

      # uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
      # and your display can output without overscan
      disable_overscan=1
      
      # uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
      # goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
