does anybody have experience with the rpi4 and screens?

Hello,

I have been having issues the past few months with using https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/5inch_DSI_LCD on Raspberry Pi 4 with NixOS.
I don't even know anymore what would cause libinput to not recognize the device?
I have imported all the modules and added

hardware.raspberry-pi.config.all.dt-overlays.vc4-kms-dsi-waveshare-800x480enable = true;

# Do not edit!
# This configuration file is generated from NixOS configuration
# options `hardware.raspberry-pi.config`.
# Any manual changes will be overwritten on the next configuration
# switch.

Hey Everyone, I'd like to request help and hope this is the right place to ask.

Problem

I've been encountering a cmake error when trying to switch to a new generation (just updates to packages from updated nixpkgs), and am aware this is being tracked here, but I'm wondering what I can do right now. Because, frankly, I can't update any of my packages as long as I get this error. And I can imagine that many users are facing this issue.

The error in short:

 > CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
       >   Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.
       >
       >   Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
       >   to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
       >   to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.
       >
       >   Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.
       >
       >
       > -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
       For full logs, run 'nix log /nix/store/4w4b558kk5m3ij11ycxbm4pry3ss6m45-capnproto-1.0.2.drv'.
error: 1 dependencies of derivation '/nix/store/pfkvpc5is5yvdhrw6p14dm8m64lq28mb-lix-2.93.3-pre20250722-7ac20fc.drv' failed to build

What I've tried

I've tried to use a overlay for capnproto, but even though the overlay is seen by nix repl, it's not being applied. After trying for an hour last weekend, I gave up on that route.

Any advice? Thanks in advance!
