I’ve recently set up raspbmc on an rpi B to work with a 3.5" TFT display as a portable media player/airplay speaker and thought i’d give it a go with the OSMC alpha but couldn’t get it working, I’m guessing there are a few dependencies missing .
Are there plans to add support directly to OSMC for both FBTFT and FBCP?
If fbtft is in the upstream (raspberrypi-linux) jernel then I’ll add the kernel module for it, otherwise you can use a kernel by the developer ‘notro’ which will work
Hi, the fbtft driver is now in the Linux kernel staging tree (GitHub - notro/fbtft: Linux Framebuffer drivers for small TFT LCD display modules). Could you please add the module ?
Using notro’s kernel did not work for me.
Any news on the fbtft module? I can’t modprobe it at least 
This is still a problem with the latest version of OSMC.
Running the script that should load a kernel with support does not work and results in an unbootable system. FBTFT should be included by default to be able to run OSMC on LCD modules.
Every current version of Raspbian includes FBTFT by default now and OSMC should do so too.
Are you referring to the modules, or the fbcp binary?
I’ll accept a PR to add these modules.
