How to change HDMI output resolution

labi
labi over 5 years ago

Hello All,

 

I use the official Debian image (Image V1.1.1.r10)

 

I'd like to change the resolution to 4K60 (or any except 1080p) therefore I changed the weston.ini, but it looks like I can not override the output section only:

 

I modified to:

[output]

name=HDMI-A-1

mode=3840x2160@60

force-on=true

 

After reboot:

[output]

name=HDMI-A-1

mode=1920x1080@60

#transform=90

 

What did I do wrong?

Thanks in advance

Labi

    Hi Joshua, Thanks your answer indeed! With "systemctrl restart weston" I can change the output resolution to 480p, but after the reboot the res changed back to 1080p and the weston.ini also. For example…

    The resolution is dynamic, unless you make it static using cmdline input under /boot directory.

    you try the command in uboot:

     

    setenv mmcargs "setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200 earlycon=ec_imx6q,0x30860000,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rw video=HDMI-A-1:1366x768-32@60"
