I just got my HyperPixel yesterday and hooked it up to my Raspberry Pi (running latest Raspbian Desktop, 4-08-19) today. The screen was functioning perfectly fine and I was loving it, but wherever I clicked, the mouse would be about 40 pixels to the right. The farther left I would touch on the screen, the farther right the mouse would be. It almost makes it unusable as a touch screen. Is there any way to fix this or should I buy a replacement?
That doesn’t help fixing it though. Would downgrading to an older Raspbian Desktop distribution help?
No, sorry. Was meant more as an explanation as to what you’re experiencing. I don’t think an older distro will help much.
So my HyperPixel is unusable? That’s it?
Ok: to anyone else having this problem that came here in a google search, don’t give up hope! This happens because the HyperPixel’s drivers act up on the 4.14 kernel. Downgrade to a 2018-06 or before release and your HyperPixel will work flawlessly. You can find old releases on http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/
There’s a good thread on this topic with seemingly precise fixes on Github:
Basically some people may need to change the default X & Y sizes for the displays.
