I bought a 10.1″LCD Display for my Raspberry Pi from SeeedStudio last month(a item got messed up so delayed for like 3 weeks), and finally arrived today.

There are not much on instruction how to set it up, so I am taking pictures down as the instruction for references how to connect the display:

The control keyboard has 5 five buttons, they are Power, Down, Up, Select, and Back.  There is only one connector you can connect it, so there should be no mistake on connection the keyboard.

Also, change the config.txt file in the Raspberry Pi.

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

In editor, uncomment and change the following lines:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

hdmi_drive=2

hdmi_group=2

hdmi_mode=81

config_hdmi_boost=4

This is a setting for 1366×768 resolution.  For more information the meaning for each setting, can find it at
