Just installed the latest OSMC via SD on my Raspberry Pi 4 / w official 7" touchscreen. First boot goes fine and can see it “Installing files” for a bit followed by a reboot. Now when it boots, it displays a blue OSMC splashscreen for a second or two, then display goes completely white.
I was able to SSH into it and see that Kodi starts up as log appears, but nothing in it really seems to suggest the issue. Performed an apt-get dist-upgrade + tried changing Kodi’s resolution from 720x480 to 800x480 in guisettings.xml to match display, but no change.
Other than the changes I made above, it’s a vanilla install. Any suggestions? Thanks
Just to say I’m having exactly the same issue on RPi 3+ with 7 inch touchscreen
Had to re-flash my SD card yesterday because of a separate issue, was working fine before I tried to reinstall OSMC. Wondering whether something has changed in a later distro which has caused this to break (the previous installation I was using was from a year or so back)
Could be totally unrelated, but I’ve just tried reinstalling from an older image of OSMC and I notice that the /boot/config.txt options seem to have changed in the newer version. Here’s what they used to be:
Hi all, newbie here but I had exactly the same problem so glad to hear some ideas.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3B with touchscreen. Blank display in the latest image.
I have managed to get it working ok with the display by using release 2020-10-11 for the Pi 3B.
Just wanted to say I’ve got the Pi Screen working on the latest release of OSMC (2021-12-25) on a 3A.

then under /boot/config-user.txt

This was added after the first initial boot to allow for the OS to apply to the SDCard.
Thanks for yr message
Trying on PI 3B … unfortunately was not working.
What did i do :
fresh sdcard with OSMC_TGT_rbp2_20211225.img
switch on my pi 3B
installing screen comes on .
After installation reboot, the screen is blank, switch off pi3B.
remove sd card from pi, mount on my ubuntu pc
change config.txt as follow :
cat /boot/config.txt
# Warning: do not edit this file, or it could prevent your OSMC system from starting.
# If you wish to make changes, you should do so via My OSMC or edit the config-user.txt file in this directory
