Hey dude,
I realise this post was some time ago now but basically I am running into the exact same issue - I was wondering if you have solved it??
I have just posted a similar question waiting for admins to confirm it.
Hi, i know this is an old post but just incase someone is still looking for a fix.
I have found the solution, credit goes to *REMOVED*
Even though its stated for the 7inch LCD it works very much the same except for a small changed to the hdmi_cvt parameter
*modify "nano /boot/config.txt" and add the following lines to the bottom of the file
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=1
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0 0
* Copy the contents of your /boot/config.txt and save
* Mount the boot partition since boot was not mounted by default in my download,
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot/
* Create new file on the newly mounted directory "nano /boot/config.txt"
* Paste contents of previous config.tx and save file,
* run "sudo shutdown -r now" and your Pi will reboot and will show the display and full resolution.
i attempted to run the software to get the touch screen to work but it didn't end up working. though i'm not to worried about it.
