I have reverted back to `https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi_RPi-ARMv8-Bullseye.img.xz` for now which fixes the issue.

Linking the same report on GitHub: [Official touch display broken with v1.1 PCB Pi 2 on bookworm · Issue #7502 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub](https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/issues/7502)

Can you please try the following:

```sh
sudo /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-set_hardware rpi-opengl vc4-kms-v3d
G_SUDO G_CONFIG_INJECT 'display_auto_detect=' 'display_auto_detect=1' /boot/config.txt
sudo reboot

```

You should then get output, and you can rotate the screen via `dietpi-display`. To rotate touch input accordingly, check out: [https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/display.html#rotate-touch-input](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/display.html#rotate-touch-input)
