Product Introduction
This is a 5" Raspberry Pi LCD touchscreen with 800*480 resolution and 108×64.8mm display area. The product supports Raspberry Pi DSI display interface and comes with a capacitive touch panel on its screen and supports 5 touch points. The special holes design on the back of the screen is convenient to directly install the Raspberry Pi in the product. There is no need to provide external power for the touchscreen as the Raspberry Pi power supply is adopted. In addition, the screen supports hardware backlight adjustment. The function can be realized by turning the potentiometer on the back of the display.
Attention
The 5-inch DSI screen is currently not suitable for Raspberry Pi 5.

Firmware Config
Some DSI screens have issues where touch doesn't work with the default configuration. The current workaround/temporary fix involves changing the kernel driver module used for these displays.
sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt and change
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
todtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
Close the nano editor using ctrl+x (exit), then y for yes (save).
Reboot to apply changes. sudo reboot now
If that doesn't fix it, you can try commenting these lines out with a # in front of the line, resulting in:
# dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d# max_framebuffers=2
Reboot to apply changes. sudo reboot now
