Just for completeness:
However, the fact that the waveshare script writes to the wrong firmware config file makes it seem to me as if there is something wrong at their end.
Nevertheless this does not matter anymore since your reverse-engineered driver works![:)]( "Smile")
Yes that's also what I thought, so I triple-checked everything and I'm pretty sure I used the "correct" (as in "according to the waveshare documentation") one - I checked the kernel version with uname and for the 6.1.0 kernel, there is only one version and that is 64-bit.Sounds like you've picked an incorrect 32bit vs 64bit driver.- Using current 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS (bookworm) and installing the Waveshare driver based on the instructions in the Waveshare wiki
--> Errors during the install script: "exec_format_error" when the script tries to load the driver with modprobe
Also, the script appends lines to /boot/config.txt even though it should be /boot/firmware/config.txt. But moving the lines to the correct place didn't help.
--> Screen also stayed black
