New page

Hi,

I installed gnome and added Driver "fbdev" to xorg.conf. How do I change the screen resolution. It is at only 800x640.

		+	It first depends on what kernel version you are using.
		+
		+	You have to define it at boot time, thru u-boot, this would set 1280x720x16 for 2.6.29.
		+	setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait rootfstype=ext3 ro omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60'
		+	saveenv
		+
		+	For 2.6.27/2.6.27:
		+	video=omapfb:mode:1280x720@60
		+
		+	For 2.6.28:
		+	omap-dss.def_disp=lcd omapfb.video_mode=1280x720MR-16@60
		+
		+	For 2.6.29:
		+	omapfb.mode=dvi:1280x720MR-16@60
		+
		+	Common Modes: (not every combination is supported)
