HDMI output 1280x1024 in any distro
#1
I'm looking to drive this resolution but nothing I've done so far - in any of the distros - has been able to support this resolution.  Currently I'm trying to configure DietPi manually but I just get a blank screen;  DietPi (with LXDE) also fails to return the image if it blanks due to screen timeout (which I also can't change properly).  I've tried all of the major offerings that I can find but nothing seems to work properly.


It seems so far that unless you're equipped to run 1920x1080, 1280x720, 800x600 or 720x480 you're not going to get anywhere;  is this some kind of hardware and/or screen driver issue with the Rock64's chipset?

The lxrandr program permits only these resolutions (auto seems to default to 1920x1080 which my video system squashes to display).   For reference I tried driving a Pi via this monitor (with its HDMI <> VGA adaptor) and it works ok;  I've run other HDMI outputs through this config as well (PC) and they displayed without issue.

Text display is also distorted, I think the system is desperately trying to output 1920x1080 and my adaptor is trying to compensate.   I've tried some of the manual modifications for text but desktop GUI configuration still eludes me.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
