here: https://paste.armbian.com/oyozunowab (running through docker on fedora 42 latest everything after a restart, the same issue happens on a fresh download too) i dont have it available atm, i will include it as soon as i can get access to it, but last time i checked dmesg there was pretty much no errors no, not really, i changed the pins for D/C and reset iirc

ok so, i tried to replicate the issues i had but they just... didnt happen? everything just... works perfectly fine????? i have no idea if it was just that i was particularly unlucky or something, but i just compiled a working image fairly easily. edit: nevermind, when i retried after a restart i got a Failed to update binfmts [ update-binfmts --enable qemu-arm ] error, googling yielded almost no information (host: fedora 42) i did! its a russian store, so it probably has a bunch of countries region blocked (for me it works, even through VPN)

i am using a downloaded image, trying to compile armbian has been an awful experience, i guess ill keep trying different settings and see if anything changes

oh so THAT'S why Xfce didnt launch, good to know. i did try lowering the SPI frequency but the result is pretty much the same. i am using the panel-mipi-dbi-spi driver, i will check the script later and see how it actually works. i am 100% sure the display is not defective, it works perfectly fine through tft_eSPI on an esp32, i will try getting an another unit and see if it changes anything.

now that i think of it, i think you're right; the data being displayed is not offset its just straight up not displayed in some regions and wraps around for some reason. i bought the display here. its very likely resold from aliexpress.

thanks! direct wiring has definitely changed something, i guess ill keep changing stuff and update if i get something upd: the direct wiring has definitely made an improvement, but it still looks offset, i have no idea how to fix this, changing stuff in panel-timing just.. does stuff randomly, and i have no idea how to pick the right one. does anyone know the solution to this kind of weirdness? this is the best i could get it:

hello again, i searched around and pretty much everything links back to this thread. this is the best result i could get on latest armbian, does anyone know what i can change? i think the problem is that the image is kinda shifted down and then goes back up? im pretty sure i need to change some kind of offset, but other than that im stumped

ill go look in there then, thanks!

its an ili9488 3.5" cheap red SPI display, pretty much right after posting the comment i got it to output a garbled image, i did change the pins to match my pin connections. i was running orange pi branded debian, doing stuff on armbian doesn't work for some reason, im going to try to compile it myself. i completely removed touch from the DTS because i dont really need it. i am on orange pi zero 2w btw. for some reason i cant upload an image

hello! i was trying to hook up a 3.5" display to my orange pi zero 2w, but when i try to use the DTS, all i get is black and white stripes. does anyone know a fix or what this even means?
