RPi5 Fails to run xstart without this modification
After following this guide to a tee, I attempted a reboot and was met with a failure to start X.org...the error looked like this:
Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices
I dug through some forums and found that the following solution worked.
Login to the Pi and create a file called 99-vc4.conf in the path /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
Add this to the file:
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "vc4"
MatchDriver "vc4"
Driver "modesetting"
Option "PrimaryGPU" "true"
EndSection
Reboot. Home Assistant will fire right up. I also noticed that you'll need to enable the cursor the first time in order to set the username and password of the login for the Home Assistant UI.
