Can't Get Turing 5" to Work On Bazzite

[Laetherin]

So, I seem to have gotten the script to work, and that's after days of trying to figure out permissions with Bazzite (kind of a Linux n00b). I bought this screen specifically: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJ9MQVBG?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1.

I don't know if you consider this screen the "Turing Smart Screen" or the "USBPCMonitor". I have the com port set to /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Turing_UsbMonitor_CT21INCH-if00.

I have a udev rule:
File name: 99-usb-serial.rules
Content: KERNEL=="ttyACM[0-9]*",MODE="0666"

I'll post my config.py file per error I get:

Nothing happens on screen.

I've had other configs or themes that'll flash the screen and it'll go black. Some themes give a read out of failing to draw objects within the lines. I've been able to connect to the screen in Windows to confirm it's working and everything works as it should with TURZX.exe. Just so I'd have something better to look at, I was able to save a video file to it with TURZX.exe to play by default. As far as Bazzite, she's a no go.

It seems to have a hard time figuring out it's a 5" screen and not a 3.5" screen in some attempts. Can't remember the exact set up for it right now. That's when themes will draw outside the lines.

Noticed too, when I ran it in a container, I'd get the icon and accept it, still didn't work. Now that I'm not using a container, there is no icon despite what the log says.

Well the error is right there [WARNING] Display returned invalid or unsupported ID, try again in 1 second
possibly permissions,
try > ls -lat /dev/serialby-id
perms on usb-Turing_UsbMonitor_CT21INCH should be drwxr-xr-x

The display is returning an ID, but it's not one that the turing-smart-screen-python software recognizes or supports
is the display on the support list?

Out of interest how did you get it to work outside a container and remain persistent?
I have got my USB display attached in distrobox by mapping the usb devices to the container, I may have a similar issue as yourself, blank display

$ ls -lat /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Turing_UsbMonitor_CT21INCH-if00
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 13 Aug 3 04:24 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Turing_UsbMonitor_CT21INCH-if00 -> ../../ttyACM1

Believe it needs to be in the dialout group... Thought it was before...
I followed the advice here for my udev rule: #197

As far as I know, my screen is this one: https://github.com/mathoudebine/turing-smart-screen-python/wiki/Hardware-revisions#turing-smart-screen-5

As for how I have it working outside a container, I'm still a n00b at Linux so I use AI to assist me. I believe in one of my many, many attempts, I was instructed to try installing it through rpm-ostree. Don't know if that'l break Bazzite's update's but I'm learning as I go.
