<p>In some cases, you may be inconvenient to use the image supplied by us, then you can install the LCD driver on an original system.</p>
<p>Configure your Pi:</p>
<pre>
sudo raspi-config
</pre>
<ul>
<li>Select Expand Filesystem.</li>
<li>You should make sure the custom mirror image used can boot to desktop. Check the configuration: Enable Boot to Desktop/Scratch -> Desktop Log in as user ‘pi’ at the graphical desktop</li>
</ul>
<p>Download <a class="external text" href="http://ift.tt/1LRDeUR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">RPi LCD driver</a> and extract it. Copy the file LCD-show.tar.gz into your custom mirror image via the network or an U disk. Run the following command:</p>
<pre>
tar xvf LCD-show.tar.gz
cd LCD-show/
</pre>
<ul>
<li>For 3.2inch RPi LCD (B), run the command:</li>
</ul>
<pre>
sudo ./LCD32-show
</pre>
<ul>
<li>For 3.5inch RPi LCD (A), run the command:</li>
</ul>
<pre>
sudo ./LCD35-show
</pre>
<ul>
<li>For 4inch RPi LCD (A), run the command:</li>
</ul>
<pre>
sudo ./LCD4-show
</pre>
<ul>
<li>For 5inch HDMI LCD, run the command:</li>
</ul>
<pre>
sudo ./LCD5-show
</pre>
<p>Then, wait a few minutes, the system will restart <a href="http://ift.tt/1o7SsLj" itemprop="url" target="_bank" title="automatically"><strong>automatically</strong></a>. When finished, the RPi LCD is ready to use.</p>
<p>To switch to HDMI display, run the command:</p>
<pre>
sudo ./LCD-hdmi
</pre>
<h2><span id="Toggle_between_LCD_and_HDMI_display" class="mw-headline">Toggle between LCD and HDMI display</span></h2>
<h3><span id="LCD_display_switch_to_HDMI_display" class="mw-headline">LCD display switch to HDMI display</span></h3>
<p>The default boot mode of the system image in CD selects LCD display. And there will be no output to the external HDMI displayer if you apply one under this mode. In case that you want to use HDMI display, please execute the following commands:</p>
<pre>
sudo su
HDMI-SYS-SHOW
</pre>
<p>The system will load the driver (wait several minutes). And the <a href="http://ift.tt/1o7Ssv1" itemprop="url" target="_bank" title="Raspberry Pi"><strong>Raspberry Pi</strong></a> will reboot automatically, when the driver loaded. After the module rebooted, waiting more than 30 seconds, there will be information display on the HDMI screen. And then, you will enter into Startx interface.</p>
<h3><span id="HDMI_display_switch_to_LCD_display" class="mw-headline">HDMI display switch to LCD display</span></h3>
<p>If you need to use LCD display again, please operate the following commands to switch to this mode:</p>
<pre>
sudo su
</pre>
<ul>
<li>When using 3.2inch RPi LCD, please input:</li>
</ul>
<pre>
LCD32-SYS-SHOW
</pre>
<ul>
<li>When using 3.5inch RPi LCD, please input:</li>
</ul>
<pre>
LCD35-SYS-SHOW
</pre>
<ul>
<li>When using 4nch RPi LCD, please input:</li>
</ul>
<pre>
LCD4-SYS-SHOW
</pre>
<ul>
<li>When using 5inch HDMI LCD, please input:</li>
</ul>
<pre>
LCD5-SYS-SHOW
</pre>
<p>When finished the commands above, the system will load the driver (wait several minutes). And the <a href="http://ift.tt/1UIqQdK" itemprop="url" target="_bank" title="Raspberry"><strong>Raspberry</strong></a> Pi will reboot automatically, when the driver download finished. After the module rebooted, waiting more than 30 seconds, there will be information display on the HDMI screen. And then, you will enter into system interface.</p>
<p><b>Descriptions: Under the HDMI display mode, you should use an external keyboard or SSH method for command inputting, since the <a href="http://ift.tt/1VLP1aQ" itemprop="url" target="_bank" title="virtual keyboard"><strong>virtual keyboard</strong></a> is not available. Or you can set a serial port as a debugging interface for command inputting.</b></p>
<h2><span id="Touch_screen_calibration" class="mw-headline">Touch screen calibration</span></h2>
<p>Enter the following commands for touch screen calibration:</p>
<pre>
su pi
DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput_calibrator
</pre>
<p>After running these commands, there will be a prompt for four-point calibration shown in the LCD screen. Click the points one by one to finish the touch calibration. Then, the new calibration data will be displayed in the terminal, as shows below. Please get these data for future use.</p>
<pre>
Doing dynamic recalibration:
Setting new calibration data: 126, 3734, 3892, 199
</pre>
<p>Enter the following command to edit 99-calibration.conf:</p>
<pre>
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
</pre>
<p>Then, the old calibration data will be displayed in the terminal:</p>
<pre>
Section "InputClass"
Identifier      "calibration"
MatchProduct    "ADS7846 Touchscreen"
Option  "Calibration"   "160 3723 3896 181"
Option  "SwapAxes"      "1"
EndSection
</pre>
<p>Modify the calibration data to the new calibration data displayed in the step 2):</p>
