Using RetroPie with XPT2046 TouchScreen?
-
Hey Guys,
I just bought a 3.5inch TouchScreen (XPT2046 ChipSet) for my RetroPie which works great on Raspbian. Because I can't use NOOBS and/or Berryboot with it (don't know how to setup the Touchscreen for this two tools without killing my Kernel), I installed the OS I got with the TouchScreen (Raspbian Jessie with Drivers preinstalled).
I updated Raspbian and installed RetroPie on top of it.When my Raspberry Pi starts, it boots Raspbian in Desktop Mode.
To boot RetroPie on it, I'm using "sudo pkill Xorg" & "sudo systemctl stop lightdm && emulationstation"
Now the TouchScreen shows nothing (blackscreen). When I insert the HDMI-Cable, I can see the RetroPie GUI on my Monitor.
The Touchscreen only displays the console-stuff like when I start raspi-config, raspi-config will be displayed on Touchscreen.Is it possible to display the GUI on the Touchscreen instead of the Monitor? If yes, how can I do this exactly?
I'm smth new to Linux and the RPi.
Can you help me out with this?
