Raspberry Pi 3b HiLetgo 2.8" TFT

Managed to get the display to show something, but the mouse wont move and there is no desktop icons and taskbar. When I plug in an HDMI screen at the same time, I can view the boot info and move the mouse on that screen. The TFT remains static. Used the below to build. Pins connectors double checked and in the right place.

EDITED to add 'desktop icons and taskbar and am aware that boot up will only show once its loaded when the OS starts, so I have been told.'

cmake -DILI9341=ON -DGPIO_TFT_DATA_CONTROL=24 -DGPIO_TFT_RESET_PIN=25 -DSPI_BUS_CLOCK_DIVISOR=8 -DDISPLAY_ROTATE_180_DEGREES=ON -DSTATISTICS=0 ..

Then edited config.txt with hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=87 hdmi_cvt=320 240 60 1 0 0 0 hdmi_force_hotplug=1

and then added the following to /etc/rc.local sudo /home/pi/fbcp-ili9341/build/fbcp-ili9341 &. That's all I have done. Any pointers would be nice.

so, just from the desktop background, I can see that the taskbar is "chopped off" it's like the image on the display is "zoomed in" have you added the extra lines to /boot/config.text from the instructions?

I highly recommend a full read-through of the instructions, I didn't have any luck until I read the instructions from top to bottom without stopping, instead of just trying to find bits I thought I needed to find.

I'm aware of an issue with freezing displays on the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS, Raspberry Pi OS desktop works fine for me on the (legacy) version of Raspberry Pi OS from the Raspberry Pi OS flasher tool.
