7" Touchscreen won't Invert

The ethernet port on my rpi stopped worked, so replaced the rpi with a freshly built Buster-lite SD Card. The installation works as expected. However, the touchscreen display won't invert. When pressed, the "invert touchscreen" doesn't change anything. I expected it to say reboot, but screen just flashes once.

I would add, it's just the rpi that has been replaced, not the touchscreen. To check, I've just rebuilt another PD4 with a new rpi and new touchscreen with same result.

Is there a work around for this, as relying on web control at the moment.

All other features appear to work, including invert "pi camera".

I have another PD4, which was configured about 3 months ago and that works fine.

Thank you in advance.

Sorry Graham

I thought that I had fixed that. I'll take a look at it later this week.

Hi Dave,

I've commented out the "lcd rotate=2" line in the config file and that's fixed it for now.

Many thanks for the quick response.

I have just fixed this in the latest release. No point in changing your system - the button simply does what you did manually!

Thanks for reporting the problem.

Dave

Thanks for sorting, everything working well here. I’m setting up for Q100 at the moment, having moved QTH.
