i also have the same issue, my screen will power but no display.
i had read on adafruit that their touchscreen is not yet supported on raspi .
thats about my best bet....just waiting myself lol

Hey,

I am pretty sure there is an option when the kernel is compiling to add this support into your image.

You are presented with a Yes, No selection.

Thanks for checking out the guide but it has since been updated with this one (https://itfellover.com/kali-linux-1-1-0-git-install-kernel-cross-compilation-with-wireless-injection-working-v2/).

I am also having the same problem using Kali 1.1 ,Rasp. 2 & adafruite 3.5 TFT. Had it working on Raspberry Pi B+
Could some who has this working , re-image and upload?

Found this... check it and post if it works for you

TFT screen does not display anything for me yet (black screen) but, it's getting closer

when you get to the framebuffer section, type:
export FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb1
startx

I Followed the standard Adafruit instructions and the display works now. ;-)

Getting some random green line artifacts, No a big deal, most likely the frequency it's set to..

Now, working on getting the touchscreen to work. Following adafruit instructions didn't work for me.. in the past (on Pi B+ and Kali 9) I had the touch screen even working in console mode (for using MC)
