Orange Pi PC, mainline, Ubuntu xenial dev. Can't change screen resolution. No matter what I tried.

If you run the Terminal Emulator once the desktop is showing you can punch in 

sudo armbian-config

 

You can go into system settings and change the display resolution.

 

This is provided you have the display showing well enough to be able to navigate.

In case it helps someone else

Hi Igor,

 

downloaded from main downloads page. 

 

But, anyway, after apt update / apt upgrade / reboot, I was able to change resolution without problems.

Thank you! It worked with the following line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt :

 

extraargs=drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/640x480.bin video=HDMI-A-1:640x480-24@60

hi.

it seems this setup is still the only available to set the resolution. i'm using it successfully.

is there a way to select the overscan?

unfortunatly the extraargs parameter disables sound...
