Xorg -configure gets error: no devices to configure

[KwisatzJim]

Hi, I purchased the ElecLab Raspberry Pi Touchscreen Monitor 5 Inch DSI IPS Capacitive LCD Display 800x480 for my Raspberry Pi 4b. It's running Ubuntu server 21.10 with no desktop environment.
I wanted to get Xorg working on it but when I run: sudo Xorg -configure it gets the following error: X.Org X Server 1.20.13 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: linux Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux raspberrypi 5.13.0-1024-raspi #26-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 25 10:54:36 UTC 2022 aarch64 Kernel command line: coherent_pool=1M 8250.nr_uarts=1 snd_bcm2835.enable_compat_alsa=0 snd_bcm2835.enable_hdmi=1 bcm2708_fb.fbwidth=800 bcm2708_fb.fbheight=480 bcm2708_fb.fbswap=1 smsc95xx.macaddr=DC:A6:32:09:71:5E vc_mem.mem_base=0x3ec00000 vc_mem.mem_size=0x40000000 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1 root=LABEL=writable rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait fixrtc quiet splash Build Date: 14 December 2021 02:07:57PM xorg-server 2:1.20.13-1ubuntu1.1 (For technical support please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support) Current version of pixman: 0.40.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

HI, have you flashed TF for Raspbian with desktop? You can try it out on a Raspberry Pi 4. We are using Raspbian with desktop by default, it does not need to do anything, but RPI4 should comment out vc4-fkms-v3d in the /boot/config.txt file:

Hi, no I've been using ubuntu, not raspian. Does it only work with raspian?

[eleclab-rpi]

HI, The driver for the Raspbian DSI display is the official Raspberry Pi. Does your Debian version support display output? We have also experienced Xorg failures on X86. This has nothing to do with the display itself, but is generally caused by the system. We run Raspbian and Volumio. Not tested on Debian, can you send us the link of the image you are using to test it?

I'm pretty sure it supports display output. It's an officially supported OS for Raspberry Pi. Here's the link... https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi/thank-you?version=21.10&architecture=server-arm64+raspi

Hi, I decided to erase the microSD and install Raspberry Pi OS 64bit and then I copied the config.txt from your GitHub repository and put it into the /boot directory. When I reboot there's a blank screen. I tried a few combinations of uncommenting a couple of lines and best I could get is there's a screen but it gets stuck on the splash screen and loading ssh daemon

the lines I tried uncommenting are:

config_hdmi_boost=9

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

[eleclab-rpi]

We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Are you using a 7" DSI display? I will send a config.txt file that can be used on 2022-01-28-raspios-bullseye-arm64 for you to try.

Thank you. The one I got on Amazon is listed as "ElecLab Raspberry Pi Touchscreen Monitor 5 Inch DSI IPS Capacitive LCD Display 800x480"

[eleclab-rpi]

Ok, the 5" 7" DSIs are all the same resolution 800x480, they are set up the same way.

ok cool. BTW I just tried running Xorg -configure for the first time after installing Raspberry Pi OS and it appears to be working fine but can't run because server is already active for display 0. But the thing that lead me to that was when I tried running link2 in graphics mode and it failed. When I try running: links2 -g -mode help it gets this error: Could not initialize any graphics driver. Tried the following drivers: x: Can't open default display fb: -mode syntax is left_border[,top_border[,right_border[,bottom_border]]]

HI, I burned ubuntu-21.10-preinstalled-server-arm64+raspi.img.xz, and added hdmi information in config.txt, there is a command line prompt to start, after entering ubuntu, install lbutuntu-destop, maybe Have to wait a long time. I will do it again on the DSI display and DPI display after it is normal.

I installed a ubuntu-21.10-preinstalled-desktop-arm64+raspi.img.xz directly, it works well, it can work on HDMI, DSI display, I haven't tested it on DPI because it only has a 5" 480x854 5" display. It is a bit large and must use a TF card of more than 16GB.

Oh, the config.txt file for HDMI and DPI display.
