Compilation error: #error "Error! Please make sure <User_Setups/Setup206_LilyGo_T_Display_S3.h> is selected in <TFT_eSPI/User_Setup_Select.h>"

Issue #226 started to cover this issue. I am requesting further clarification

I have been using the dedicated eSPI library that was part of T-Display S3 (Touch) from the 2023 ZIP file.

from TOUCH_TEST.INO
"TFT_eSPI.h" /* Please use the TFT library provided in the library. */

Please clarify that the standard TFT_eSPI.h can be used as long as User_Setup_Select.h is modified.
What additional steps are required.

I updated my TFT_eSPI to the latest version from the Arduino repository.
I open User_Setup_Select.h from home/user/Arduino/libraries/TFT_eSPI
I removed the "//" from the line - #include <User_Setups/Setup206_LilyGo_T_Display_S3.h>

Code that worked before this update (today) now has 20% of my screen unusable, origin point has moved, and rotation is different.

As mentioned in the README on the homepage, there are no additional steps. If you encounter compilation errors, it means your settings are incorrect. The compiler detects that the GPIO is incompatible with this board, which is why it throws an error.

After I un-commented the line, I do not get any compilation errors. The code that worked with the LilyGo modified TFT_eSPI files no longer works with the latest TFT_eSPI files, even after un-commenting the "206 T-Display S3" line.

I am trying to use the standard TFT_eSPI files instead swapping standard for modified when i change my target.

TFT_eSPI.h is not a dedicated library, but rather the main TFT_eSPI.h, which is simply set to the T-Display-S3 pins by default.

After the upgrade, testing using https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/T-Display-S3/blob/main/examples/tft/tft.ino should show normal display.
