Hi All, I’m Mont.
Been using Volumio (and Daphile) for a while now!
Joined up as I have been using Volumio on RPi’s headless, but recently trying (without success) to get it working with a 3.2 inch Waveshare screen?
Tried the support here
but just can not get it to play?
Time to trawl these pages
Do you have this or this display?
What is your Volumio version?
Are there any error messages shown (in a browser showing Volumio’s UI on another device)? If so, what is their content?
Hi gvolt thanks for the reply.
It is this display https://www.waveshare.com/product/raspberry-pi/displays/lcd-oled/3.2inch-rpi-lcd-b.htm
I have tried the workaround with 2.917 3.173 and 3.251 without success!
RPi is a Model 3B+
No error messages.
TIA
Are you running Volumio 3 now?
In what state is your current system now? Have you applied the steps from the thread you were referring to?
Im am currently using 3.173.
I have followed the steps and a working Volumio, but not a screen!
I am just in the process of creating a new SD card with the latest 3.251 and starting from scratch again
Ok, so we start from a fresh system.
On your previous installation: Was the display colored white?
Yes white, still the same once Volumio had completely booted
Did you have possibly changed the UI theme and encountered the problem reported here respectively here?
No the default settings of a fresh boot / install.
Had two plugins loaded:
Touch display
System Information.
I am at that stage again now. With v3.251
Am I right in thinking the touch display plugin has to be enabled before commencing the workaround?
No. 
You probably know it already: After the first boot of Volumio wait some minutes so the data partition can fully expand. Otherwise you will not be able to install the Touch Display plugin because of too less space.
I suggest to try the following steps:
Install the Touch Display plugin.
Execute
sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo
sudo apt-get -y install xserver-xorg-input-evdev
sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/45-evdev.conf
sudo curl -L https://github.com/waveshare/LCD-show/raw/master/waveshare32b-overlay.dtb -o /boot/overlays/waveshare32b.dtbo
sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/waveshare/LCD-show/master/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf-32 -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/waveshare/LCD-show/master/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf -o /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
cat >> /boot/userconfig.txt <<EOL
dtparam=spi=on
dtoverlay=waveshare32b
EOL
Reboot.
If the display should not have the orientation you are looking for, add a rotation parameter to the overlay in “/boot/userconfig.txt” so it looks something like this:
dtoverlay=waveshare32b:rotate=90
This would rotate the display (not touch) by 90 degrees clockwise.
Reboot once again.
If the display rotation appears to be correct now, check if the touch function is already properly aligned to the display. If this should not the be case try to find out by what amount touch has to be rotated, so we can have a look how to correct that.
Edit: Changed the order of commands in step 2.
Looks like that is where I have been going wrong.
So fresh install of Volumio
Install Touch screen plugin but DO NOT ENABLE?
Then execute as per your instructions
No, you can enable the plugin before or after executing the other steps. It should only be installed before them. Even this would not be strictly necessary, but it helps / makes things a little easier.
You can enable it directly after installing the plugin, but you won’t get something displayed at that time because the display specific files / settings are still missing.
OK, will give that a go now, and get back to you
Followed the above instructions.
Now have black screen but no display?
Please post the output of
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and
systemctl status -l volumio-kiosk.service
P.S. Touch Display plugin is enabled now?
As a new user it will not let me post.
No more than 2 links???

Unable to paste cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
States as a new user no more than 2 links?
PM me with the output.
Run
sudo curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/waveshare/LCD-show/master/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf -o /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
again as the previously downloaded file has probably been overwritten by installing “xserver-xorg-video-fbturbo”…
Then disable and re-enable the Touch Display plugin.
