The build and setup is the same as for Rasbian, but don't take care, find attached the ready made tcz.
There are both, fbtft and raspi2fb included the necessary libs. You don't need to install rpi-vc.

No, only run
Code: (bash) [Select]
sudo fbtft
or
Code: (bash) [Select]
sudo raspi2fb

as a first line of the bootlocal.sh, or if used the TFT setup there, place the "pause 1" and than the copy command.

yes thnx jgrulich ive magnaged the screen to work!
tce-load -i hdmitotft.tcz
sudo fbtft doesn't work
sudo  raspi2fb and the screen works! only touchscreen doesn't work and image is very small (i think it has to do with rendering from 1920 to 480)
is there a way to change the screen size?
and how do i startup all this automaticly?
do we need to write a simple startup script?

jgrulich thanks very much for your help, i've got it all to work.
just had to add raspi2fb to bootlocal.sh and everything works on startup!

just one last question, the raspi2fb forces hdmi screen to 320x480 but the image is to small. when i change it skinmenu from 1980 x 1080 it doesn't matter it stays small, any tips how to increase the screen image?

It resizes it automatically. You don't need to do anything.
If you like to have different resolution for the HDMI, than change it in the config.txt.
The resolution for Jivelite is set in the Jivelite setup - screen setup.

Set the HDMI resolution in the config.txt. Look wiki how to do so.
