How to enable 3.5 TFT Display on raspberry pi 4?

How to enable or configure 3.5TFT display on manjaro kde latest stable version on raspberry pi 4?

Look at the README in /boot/overlays and search for 3.5. There seems to be 3 different overlay choices to enable in config.txt as you did not specify the display brand.

I wonder if this commit yesterday has anything to do with your issue.

The latest kernels are in the unstable branch along with the 2 raspberrypi-bootloader packages.

Hi, I’m install Manjaro os in raspberry pi and need to install TFT LCD3.5 inch driver on it, How can I do it?
