But this is wrong, the image is pretty bad, you have to install the new driver/dtoverlay and then use the new config section.

are you using 64bit? If yes, legacy driver was the incorrect one. On current version, drivers should be build-in. This is a note from their install instructions

> Pi 3B and Pi 4 users running the latest and greatest Raspberry Pi OS should forego our installer and use the instructions below.

And the info from thier web site

> **Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye** includes major changes to how DPI display drivers work. If you’re using an image dated 04/04/2022 or later, it will come with Hyperpixel drivers baked in and you don’t need to run the installer. You can set up display and touch by adding a few lines to your `boot/config.txt`:

Yeah i think it is the 64bit version. I might give 32 bit a shot as well.

Some apps that I want to use don’t work on 64bit arm.

The driver’s are built into the newest raspberry pi os. I have this screen working on that os by only editing the config txt.

I don’t think the driver’s are built into dietpi. I tried doing the same on dietpi and it did not work.

Well i managed to get it working. I manually copied the config.txt and the three hyperpixel overlays from my working raspbery pi os install over to my freshly baked dietpi install.
