7" screen with raspbian wheezy

Wed Jan 13, 2016 2:09 pm

Has anyone gotten the screen working with raspbian wheezy? im trying to use a raspberry pi + repetier server. i can't seem to get the repetier server installed with the jessie build of raspbian, is it hard to get the screen working with wheezy and is it even possible?

For anyone wondering, i've just tried it with the latest wheezy build from the website and it works after you run the update and upgrade commans and restart the PI

Yeah, as you found out it works in Wheezy. On screen Image is upside down until you run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. No touch function either until you do that.

In Jessie, screen image is right side up from the very first boot and touch function works right away.
