I'm having the same concern. @andrasbiro, where you able to do a workaround?
I'm using the 20140421 adafruit kernel. See this topic: http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=63696&sid=683589221e8d4afcdb96df7571493823&start=15
Good for you, @andrasbiro. Unfortunately for me, I'm using ArchLinux ARM for my project. I tried using @notro's rpi firmware. I was able to make the display work by using name=pitft
but,as you might know, it's only compatible for the resistive version. I tried Adafruit's rpi-firware but with now luck. I'm getting the following message when I try to load the name=adafruitct28
:

I already did the modprobe for spi_bcm2708 and i2c_bcm2708.
Closing issue since there has been no activity for more than 2 months. Reopen if needed.
Same here, I'm not able to get the 2.8" cap touch screen working with the default raspberrypi/linux repo. Apparently driver for ft6236 has been dropped into Linux 4.4.y in October 2015, but I'm not sure it's the same as the ft6206. Any way to get it working without using adafruit/linux?
To everybody with similar issues: https://gist.github.com/pdp7/18bec30b3d5b23d52f9422a61b931d52 To @drabaioli , see above, there is a link to a patch from @jwrdegoede that states the models are compatible.
This touch driver ic is on adafruit's 2.8" capacitive touchscreen (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-8-pitft-capacitive-touch/downloads). As far as I know, only they have driver for it: https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-raspberrypi-linux/blob/rpi-3.10.y/drivers/input/touchscreen/ft6x06_ts.c I'm not sure haw hard would it be to include it in your kernel.
The screen itself is usable with name="pitft".
