Hello,

I too have the same problem. I looked into the link above but that discussion seems too complex or technical for my understanding. As a newbie user of Pine64, I expected the resolution to be set in the mate configuration tool. Could you explain how can this be done if it's possible at all?

My current debian installation is (from uname -a):
Linux pine64pro 3.10.101-0-pine64-longsleep #39 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 7 12:39:25 CEST 2016 aarch64 GNU/Linux

The fast way to switch to 720p or 1080p (requires sunxi-disp-tool installed):
sunxi-disp-tool switch -name 720p
sunxi-disp-tool switch -name 1080p

Type (or paste) this into a command shell to change the default resolution to 720p:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install sunxi-disp-tool
cat <<EOF | sudo tee -a /boot/uEnv.txt
optargs=disp.screen0_output_mode=720p60
EOF
sudo reboot

Available display-modes (input after instead of 720p60 in line 3 in the script above) for /boot/uEnv.txt:

Code:

720p50
720p60
720p
1080i50
1080i60
1080p24
1080p50
1080p60
1080p
2160p24
2160p25
2160p30
2160p

Does this clarify?
