Display issues

I tried installing the latest stable image on a Pi 4. Out of the box it didn't work with my cheap Chinese 7inch touchscreen. Making the required modifications to the /boot/config.txt file for the this screen didn't aleviate the issue.

The screen shows abstract colours and patterns, with the colors being those use by UPPorts.

The screen doesn work fine with Raspbian, and doesn't even need those modifications in that circumstance.

I was hoping that the Pi version of UBPorts would immediately have some form of SSH enabled. But I didn't really get around to testing that.

The Pi 4 is not currently useable due to the graphic issue. You can SSH following the instructions here: http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/advanceduse/ssh.html
adb won't work as the Pi is not an Android device.
Change sudo android-gadget-service enable ssh to sudo systemctl enable ssh (if I remember correctly) for the same reason.

https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-blog-1/post/raspberry-pi-266 is a good place to find out more - it needs a bit of an update as there has been some progress - mouse control is much better and wifi now works.
Git lab has superseded this old page https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/raspberrypi/-/issues

Thanks for the lightning response. I'll try again on a Pi 3 and see how it goes.

Also note that we are trying to establish a Raspberry 3 hub on Gitlab for some time: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/raspberrypi
