Settings the video output resolution from XBMC is blocked somehow. It seems to be fixed at [email protected]

I would like to use [email protected] or [email protected] How can I get this done?

Kind regards,

Michel

You may try this from the console. (taken from [email protected] forum)

check supportet resolutions..
Code: Select all
cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes


and dynamically change it with, e.g.
Code: Select all
echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank
echo U:1280x720p-60 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode
echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank

No, as I didn't need this, but others yes. Isn't it working?

Hi mijanek!

With matrixTV 1.0.0.3-1 version:

Code: Select all
[[email protected] ~]# cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes
S:640x480p-60
S:1920x1080p-30
S:1920x1080p-25
S:1920x1080p-24
S:720x576p-50
S:720x480p-60
S:720x480p-60
S:1280x720p-50
S:1280x720p-60
S:1920x1080p-50
S:1920x1080p-60
V:640x480p-60
D:1920x1080p-60
V:640x480p-60


echo S:1280x720p-60 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode is working.

Looked everywhere, read all documentation, but no root password or other shell login credentials to be found :(

maybe documentation could be updated... No one guesses the root password to be root ;)

What is the exact syntax to set it to [email protected]?

Tried several options, but get nothing but errors...

Should be:
Code: Select all
echo S:1280x720p-50 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode

Thanks, [email protected] works. Picture is not very nice, but at least I am having some picture.
