Problem with 2.8'' PiTFT Touch Screen

Post by nhazliza »

Hi,

On my PI I have installed the current available 2014-01-07-wheezy-raspbian image.
I have installed the software step by step as you described in your homepage.
During installation - everything is working well
After these steps:
sudo modprobe spi-bcm2708
sudo modprobe fbtft_device name=adafruitts rotate=90
export FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb1
startx

Whenever I type the startx command my desktop display is frozen on a black screen

Yes, that command switches the Pi to use the PiTFT instead of the desktop display. It doesn't run both displays
