volumio-2.348-2018-03-23-sparky_lcd_touch.img has been an image which has obviously specifically been prepared for use with the touch display. The version you can from volumio.org probably is not an needs some manual work.

Enable SSH access (https://volumio.github.io/docs/User_Manual/SSH.html) and connect to Volumio via SSH.

Assuming your display is connected via the DSI connector check if the display driver module is loaded with lsmod | grep ctp_ft5x06 . Please post the result.

In case the driver should not be loaded check if a file named ctp_ft5x06.ko is in /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen/FT5406: ls -al /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen/FT5406
If the file should not be either there or maybe in /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/input/touchscreen, I think you would have to manually download and install the necessary files. You could try following Sparky’s instructions (https://github.com/sparkysbc/sparky_linux_images/blob/master/Sparky_LCD_Touch_Volumio.pdf) but I don’t know if they are still valid for the current Volumio image regarding the section “Update sparky drivers:”.

Regarding the installation of the touch display plugin it should not be necessary any more to run sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install keyboard-configuration.

Regarding the instructions to get a virtual keyboard I would recommend commenting the line openbox-session & in /opt/volumiokiosk.sh and after this line addingmatchbox-keyboard -d & matchbox-window-manager -use_titlebar no &or substituting “openbox-session &” with the matchbox related lines.
