Version 7.1.1(display)-2_6_1 - DisplayMode 0 on DisplayModel 4

[itbeyond]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

I have been working for a while on Displays and have been successful in making stuff work. I have been mainly working on 6.6.0(release-display) precompiled binary and have been able to make a number of displays work. Today I flashed a WEMOS MINI D1 with a LOLIN TFT-2.4 Shield to the latest 7.7.1(display) - precompiled binary, I was able to make this work in any DisplayMode 1-5 however on DisplayMode 0 I was unable to DisplayText (anything). I flashed back to 6.6.0 and without even a reconfig was able to use DisplayText.

Not currently being a self compiler of this library I am just wondering if there is something missing in the precompiled binary.

### TO REPRODUCE
I simply upgrade from 6.6.0 display precompiled to 7.1.1 display precompilied on a device and when using DisplayText Hello - get nothing on the display.

### EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
I expected the Hello to appear on the display as it does with 6.6.0

Have you switched the display on? You have a toggle on / off button in webfrontend. Set Dimmer to 100 Cols and Rows seems not set correct

[itbeyond]

Yes I have done the process twice going up and down versions and have the display on for sure. As a test I toggle it both ways.

Try to change color with DisplayText [C0] first before any other DisplayText commands

Apparently the DisplayText color seem to be swapped...

[itbeyond]

Theo, Yes thanks that is the problem after the DisplayText [C0] the display is working as expected. I thought I had tried this earlier but I must not have done it right. Thanks for your continued work and efforts. Before I close this issue will this get rolled into a version update at some point or should we keep this open to avoid others having the same problem?
