uniDisplay descriptors incomplete

I've been trying to create a descriptor for a seemingly simple SSD1306 0.42" screen but the documentation was leading in me in the wrong direction.

Can you explain in more detail the options under :A and why it says its optional and color display only since I had to use it for the above mentioned screen?

It also seems the example for SH1106 has an error

indeed this documentation is old and sometimes outdated. :A is needed for most displays not only color.

i will update the docs soon.

however the SH1106 and SD1306 descriptors from the tasmota descriptor folder work for me without problems.

shouldn't this https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/blob/6400c9d650d385f5082f9d3557314c9da9ca77a9/tasmota/displaydesc/SD1306_display.ini#L15 have a ,

yes you are right, strange that my display worked. however i tested this a long time before. i don't use SD1306 any more the SH1106 descriptor is in use and works, i just downloaded the descriptor to a device with success

no problem, i tested the SSD1306 yesterday, i'll make the needed changes... that part of the code enables pre-charge period 0x022/f1*/ whatever that is and the screen does work without it
