Doing some research, I see that there is an 'overscan' option for the display. I tried using the 'raspi-config' command to check, but I suppose that command is not available on the distro used by piCoreplayer? Any other suggestions to troubleshoot the touchscreen? Again, if this belongs in

I noticed that the green light on my Pi 3 Model B is blinking once a second or so (no other pattern). Now, I can't be for sure, but I don't think it was doing that before I updated to piCore 3.5 . I've tried a few different power supplies. I'm using a '5V 3.0 with a power switch'
