Please try adding
framebuffer_aspect=-1
to the framebuffer settings in /boot/userconfig.txt.
I cannot see any difference.
Strange thing is, that whatever I use within (1-6)
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
there is no change…? Might there be any additional .cfg overruling these settings? But why does the resolution change perfectly?
Does leaving out the aspect ratio value in hdmi_cvt, i.e. using
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60
possibly help?
No, not at all. Im really confused by the fact, that changing the ratio value doesn’t change a thing. I also tried
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
but no success. Im done for today. Thank you so much for your patience.
Edit: Ok one more thing. The HDMI status does change, but the actual result does not:
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
state 0x6 [DVI DMT (88) RGB full 16:9], 1024x600 @ 60.00Hz, progressive
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 2 0 0 0
state 0x6 [DVI DMT (88) RGB full 14:9], 1024x600 @ 60.00Hz, progressive
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 1 0 0 0
state 0x6 [DVI DMT (87) RGB full 4:3], 1024x600 @ 60.00Hz, progressive
All look the same. (No worries, I tried hdmi_mode=87 and 88)
It seems to me as if the GUI does only react to the resolution despite any aspect ratio.
Found one weird behaviour, the rotation for the touch part.
Volumio: V3.153
Touch-Display: V3.0.1 & 3.3.1
Screen: using the waveshare 7.9inch HDMI LCD screen.
Another weird behavior is the display rotating.
For me I need to rotate the display 270 deg., so the display is correct, however the the touchscreen get stuck at 90 deg. I can’t modify “95-touch_display-plugin.conf” as it gets overwritten by the plugin on every reboot. So I needed to create a 2nd file, to add the 180 deg for the touch screen, so the total rotation (summary of both files) is correct to operate the touch screen.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf:
Section “InputClass”
Identifier “libinput touchscreen catchall”
MatchIsTouchscreen “on”
Option “CalibrationMatrix” “-1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1”
MatchDevicePath “/dev/input/event*”
Driver “libinput”
EndSection
With rotation set to 270 deg. on the Touch Display’s config page please post the results of
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/95-touch_display-plugin.conf
and
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Also please post the output of
cat /boot/config,txt
and
cat /boot/userconfig,txt
If you have this display there should be a button on the backside labeled “Rotate Touch”. If you use this, does the effect survive powering down?
Pressing the button doesn’t do anything.
Did you press the button 5 seconds? The wiki states
Rotate by button
In some special systems, when you cannot rotate by modifying the software, you can press and hold the “Rotate Touch” button for 5 seconds to rotate touch. And you may need to test multi times for the correct orientation.

For testing purposes please
- set the rotation on the plugins config page to 0 deg.,
- remove the line
display_rotate=3from/boot/userconfig.txtand - rename
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.confto e.g./etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf.bak.
Then reboot and check if display and touch orientiation are properly aligned. If that’s the case set the desired rotation angle on the plugin’s config page, reboot and check again.
- Removed display_rotate=3
- ls -al

-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 375 Nov 25 23:36 95-touch_display-plugin.conf
After reboot the screen is rotated by 90 deg. touch by 180deg.
So I re-flashed the SD, started over.
That seems to do the trick. So prob something got broken/weird during the OS updates…
So after re-flashing Volumio the misalignment of display and touch is gone?
Do still need to rotate by 270 deg. and is that working now?
Yes it is!!!
So I guess somewhere a residue was left from previous attempts. As i recalled it was working earlier. But with multiple OS upgrades, plugin updates on the same SD something went wrong. Not sure what happened with the first clean install (failed first install of the plugin as mentioned in Volumio 3 RC1 - Open Beta Testing)
Thanks for your feedback!
Hello there, new to the board, but not to Volumio.
I built a stand-alone headphone music server with a Raspberry Pi 4 and a DSI monitor (WaveShare 4.3" capacitive touch display) using the latest build of Volumio (2.917) and the Touch Display plugin (1.3.0), and no other plugins. Everything works just fine except for the Screensaver Setting - it won’t turn off.
This was a rebuild of an earlier project using the same RPi but with a different screen. The screensaver worked fine on the older screen, but sadly died a while ago, so ordered a different / larger screen to replace it. That build ran an older version of Volumio and the Touch Display plugin (sorry, I don’t know what version either was, but I think it was one of the later 2.8 versions): there are no other plugins installed. When I plugged in the new screen it worked with the old settings fine, but then noticed the screen wouldn’t turn off when it was suppose to.
I then saw there was an update for Volumio, so I updated that and the new plugin, too - but then the RPi wouldn’t reboot and I had to manually turn it off and on again and it booted back up but still no screensaver function. I then did a fresh wipe / reinstall of the mSD card with the latest Volumio and touch display plugin - rebooting from Volumio now works again, but still no screensaver.
As this RPi is a dedicated headphone music server and is on 24/7, I’d really like the screen to turn off when it’s (mostly) not in use so would like to get this function back if at all possible. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance
Hi Buma,
what are your screensaver settings (i.e. “Screensaver timeout” and “No screensaver while playing”)?
Also please connect to Volumio via SSH and post the output of
cat /boot/config.txt
and
cat /boot/userconfig.txt
