Using a waveshare 3.5 touch screen with the raspberry pi

[makeitjustin]

so I follow this guide https://whitedome.com.au/re4son/sticky-fingers-kali-pi/ on installing the the touch screen but one problem the new kali image for the pi does not have these two file needed to finish the installation.
"/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf"

I should of say this is the waveshare uses the gpio pin not hdmi port
I'm using a pi 2 b+

Hi makeitjustin,

Those files are not required for the installation of your screen.
What error message did you get?

Have you tried this pre-installed image:

https://whitedome.com.au/re4son/stic...stalled-image/

That'll get you up and running in a minute without any hassles.

Hope that helps,

Yes I've try it I keep getting "Entering kdb (current=0xdace8000,pid 1) due to keyboard entry kdb>"

Shouldn't happen with a new image.
You can put the sdcard in a linux PC and run fsck over it, e.g.:

sudo fdisk -l
sudo fsck /dev/mmcblk1p1 -y
sudo fsck /dev/mmcblk1p2 -y

That should do the trick.

If that doesn't work pm me to sort it out.

Hope that helps,

ok think I found the problem I have fake waveshare screen from here https://www.elecrow.com/wiki/index.p...Pi#Description

I've added a new type "wave35c" to the "re4son-pi-setup" tool. That should work for you and everybody else with a waveshare clone.
Run:

./re4son-pi-tft-setup -d

for the old version or

./re4son-pi-tft-setup -u

for newer versions to update the program, then

./re4son-pi-tft-setup -r

to remove any old configs you may have, and then

./re4son-pi-tft-setup -t wave35c -d /root

to set up the new screen

That should get you up and running in no time
