Has anyone gotten any LCD capes (4.3 or 7") to work with Ubuntu and the 4.1 kernel? Cape Manager seems to error out when loading firmware. Everything also seems to be mostly blank (no pins used, no pinmux values, etc.).

Thanks Philip,
Pretty much replicated on ubuntu trusty...
I'm going to quickly verify debian jessie isn't broken. But ubuntu
might be doing something funny with the location of *.dtbo, i've been
shoving them under /lib/firmware (and copying them to the
initrd.img)..
Regards,
Fun... regressions across the board.. looks like a dtc version issue..
Regards,
Okay, back to testing trusty... on debian since i don't have the cape
plugged, i have to override, and i forgot the ":00A1" part..
Regards,
Nope, works perfect:

I'm going to guess, you didn't set dtb=
Like shown under "BBB compatibility issues:"
Use blank overlay (HDMI & eMMC disabled) (/boot/uEnv.txt):
dtb=am335x-boneblack-overlay.dtb
BB-BONE-LCD4-01-00A1.dts
Disable: HDMI
Regards,
Had to re-install the kernel and now it is recognized as it should be. Many thanks! Now on to the next challenge… fixing the windowing system yet again.

Lubuntu ! That’s my cure anyhow . . .
hello,
It is for my not clear how the uEnv.txt should look like!
I have the 4DCAPE-43T
can you show my how the uEnv.txt file should look like? I am only using that LCD cape.
The software is: BBB eMMC flasher-debian-8.1-console armhf-2015-07-08-2gb
I have followed teh instructions on this page: https://github.com/beagleboard/bb.org-overlays
Regards,
Matthijs
Good afternoon
would you be so kind to advise, if there is any mistake in my numerous attempts to connect 4dcape-43t to BBB. I’ve been trying on a number of images, following various instructions from internet, but the screen is still black.
