Today, I finaly had the time do load the latest image on a clean SD card. I also received the DSI cable to connect the RPI5 to the P7 version 1. Since I have this custom zynthian, I need webconf to configure it. That seemed to work great. Originally the config was a V5 with MIPI DSI 800x480 (inverted) and the wiring as Mini V2, but I changed that to what it is:
Except for the profile, that actually is a Custom.
After rebooting over and over again with or without (inverted) option and with the MIPI settings or the P7 settings, the screen stays upside down and also the previously made backup can load but has no effect.
When I insert the SD card I used for the RPI4 (which seems to work perfect) in the RPI5 everything seems to be fine again.
Update makes it possible to show the boot process normal or upside down. The opening image with Vangelis and the mixer stays upside down in both normal and inverted configuration.
The inverted configuration should rotate the display. One config should be rotated respect to the other one.
Please, ensure you are updated to the last (Vangelis BETA updated to the last) and try again.
If not, please try this from command line:
The $ at the start of that line is just the shell prompt in the example, so it gets read as part of the command. Try it as two steps in the same terminal session: export DISPLAY=:0 and then xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate inverted. Without export, the variable is not passed on to the next command, which is why you get canāt open display. It is also worth running xrandr --listmonitors first, since that prints the exact output name and tells you whether the panel shows up as DSI-1 or DSI-2 before you try rotating it.
I have also made an SD card with the latest BETA of Vangelis in the same custom zynthian hardware, but with a RPI4. Whenever an update appeared, I ran it, so it is up to date.
When I swap the RPI4 for a RPI5 in the same custom zynthian hardware, it runs fine. No upside down images and no upside down mixer.
root@zynthian://zynthian# export DISPLAY=:0
root@zynthian://zynthian# xrandr --listmonitors
Monitors: 1
0: +*DSI-1 800/212x480/127+0+0 DSI-1
root@zynthian://zynthian# xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate inverted
root@zynthian://zynthian# xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate normal
After rotate inverted, nothing changes
After rotate normal, the siutation is normal and can be used.
After the command xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate normal the screen was normal again. When I choose the inverted screen in webconf, the screen is upside down again, but when I choose the non inverted screen thereafter nothing happens and the screen stays upside down, until after running the command in the terminal again.
This morning, as I started the Zynthian, I saw a ānormalā boot direction on the screen, but the rest was upside down. After the xrandr operations in the terminal, everything is fine again. This also needs to be done after a reboot.
