I am currently working on the pocket pigrrl project and am having the same problem. I have been using Phillip Burgess's guide for Running OpenGL-based Games & Emulators on Adafruit PiTFT...

https://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pd ... splays.pdf

However, there is a notice stating that there have been updates to the Pi kernel & bootloader that no longer work with the guide. Turns out this is the case because I cannot fetch the PiTFT kernel. So as far as I can tell we are in the dark until they update this guide.

Please let me know if you figure out a solution or some other workaround.

Thank you.

Could you post a photo showing the back of the TFT board where the flex cable fits into the connector please? 800x600 images usually work best.
