Hi! I bought this Tontec 3.5 screen. ![](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/514R6GbPRgL.jpg) There is some manipulation to enabled it as primary screen. The HDMI screen is primary so I have to switch it. The problem is that the tutorial given in the box is for Raspbian and there are some changes. I have to change **config.txt**. The file wasn’t in the same folder but I find it. So, i have to change **/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf** and for now I didn’t find it. In this file, I have to change the primary screen. How can i find this file ? I try a FIND command but it doesn’t exist. Anybody find a solution for Rasplex and a LCD display ? Is that possible to install a Plex client on Raspbian ? Maybe it will be more easy for me ? Thanks a lot. ---

Rasplex has no X environment, that why you can’t find it, it doesn’t need it. There are some old posts relating to touchscreen so, no one has got one working as far as I can remember, Rasplex doesn’t support touch, but the screen should work, suggest searching this section for ‘touchscreen’. There is no Plex client the runs under Raspbian. Regards ---

Ok. Thank you for your answer. The touchscreen function is not a priority. I have search for many solution to have the LCD display working with Rasplex but I don’t find it yet. The screen works on Raspbian but there isn’t Plex client on it. If anybody have a solution for this : Plex client on Raspberry + LCD screen working, I take it ! Thanks. ---

Is this tutoral can be a base to do that ? [github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/wiki/GPIO-LCD](https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/wiki/GPIO-LCD "https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/wiki/GPIO-LCD") ---

No, that is for the small, text only displays, usually one or two lines. That particular article is now a few years old and is probably not relevant anymore. Regards ---

OK, thank you. So, for now there is no solution to use Rasplex or anything similar Plex client with a LCD screen on Raspberry Pi. I have to be patient. 🙂 ---

Just thinking about this would seem that an LCD screen with an HDMI port should work. Something like [this](http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-inch-800-480-LCD-Display-Driver-Board-HDMI-VGA-2AV-for-Raspberry-Pi-3-Pi-2-/222005484859?hash=item33b08edd3b:g:QlYAAOSwuYVWpfK0 "ebay.com/itm/7-inch-800-480-LCD-Display-Driver-Board-HDMI-VGA-2AV-for-Raspberry-Pi-3-Pi-2-/222005484859?hash=item33b08edd3b:g:QlYAAOSwuYVWpfK0") ? The only worry I would have is whether Rasplex would auto detect the display resolution. I don’t know if there is a way to force Rasplex to use the displays native resolution. Ned probably knows 🙂 ---

I’m utilizing the 7" official pi touchscreen, running Plex Media Player v1.1.1 (the new 1.1.2 broke the touch feature, so I reverted). It works flawlessly! I tried for days to get rasplex to work with my touchscreen and eventually gave up, and I’m happy I made the switch. ---

So it doesn’t work in PMP either. Regards ---
