Hello Community,
i am trying to install Fedora-Workstation-41-1.4.aarch64 on to a RPI 4 , 8 GB Ram. with a RPI touch screen 7 inch.
i get a blank screen on with some white stripes during boot
Rpi 4 Touch Display 7 inch not compatible? or am i doing something wrong?
any advices are welcome
thx in advance
I tried to get this going a couple of years ago and failed.
You should look at the fedora rpi docs and see what the current status is.
Edit: you almost certainly will need to do some rpi specific config to get this working.
I installed f41 on my RPi4 and it worked with a 10.1 inch touchscreen. However I was unable to login without having a usb keyboard/mouse since the touchscreen is not functional with plymouth. It is functional once logged in.
My touchscreen monitor is HDMI connected and does not use the rpi ribbon cable. It has an additional usb cable to control the touch (like a mouse).
Which touch screen did you use? Is it connect to the rpi GPIO pins?
The touch screen I used is this one
It connects to the Pi with an HDMI cable & USB cable, The only GPIO connection is that it draws 5V power from the Pi gpio pins (but can be separately powered by USB). Video is via HDMI and touch control is via USB.
The Pi mounts directly on the back of the monitor, very near the center.
Yep that will work as it does not need a special driver.
You can use the standard USB touch and HDMI support.
I had to leave my 7" touch screen RPi on raspbian so allow my app would work.

See this detail
@barryascott Hey,
thx for reaching out.
i use Raspberry Pi Touch Display - 7", 800x480
so i need any display that is connected by HDMI ? and USB ?
and something like
should work?
The one I use and listed above works perfectly except for logging in on fedora
(as stated above) It appears the drivers for monitors attached by the ribbon cable are not available in fedora
That IS what @d3m0n and I have both said!
More specifically they are not in the upstream kernel.
