I'm trying to get the 800X480 version of this screen working with my PI5. I used the stock PI image and added your code to the config.txt file, but touch still doesn't work. Your image is for the PI4, so it probably won't work with my 5. Any suggestions? I've googled this with no luck and am waiting on Waveshare to get back to me.
