Problem is that when I enter the bootcmds:
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw
rootwait video=omapfb:mode:1024x768@60 '
setenv bootcmd 'mmc init;fatload mmc 0 80300000 uImage;bootm 80300000'
I get a low res desktop (I think 640x480)
Also, I had to change the command in the tutorials which said use
mmcinit. When I used mmcinit on this version of u-boot.bin it threw an
error.. so I am not sure if changing that to 'mmc init' is an ok thing
to do or not?
I need to be able to go up to 720p on a big HD Screen.
Another noob question, trying to move from Debian to Angstrom.
I am using the latest test image and MLO, u-boot.bin and uImage fromhttp://www.angstrom-distribution.org/demo/beagleboard/
Problem is that when I enter the bootcmds:
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw
rootwait video=omapfb:mode:1024x768@60 '
setenv bootcmd 'mmc init;fatload mmc 0 80300000 uImage;bootm 80300000'
I have the video setting as
omapfb.video_mode=800x600MR-16@60
Perhaps try this format? I think that possibly your settings are for
DSS1 but from my knowledge the newer versions of Angstrom use DSS2
I get a low res desktop (I think 640x480)
What are your settings that are actually in Angstrom aka in xorg.conf,
I'm not completely sure but I think it will use the resolution you
give it to boot up but once you are in Angstrom is overriding this
with the local setting.

Some versions of U-boot have slightly different syntax, I'm not sure
which is the newer version but yes it was ok for you to make this
change.
I also have resolution issues when running the demo image with
matchbox desktop and
enlightenment window manager. I also get a few GTK errors which start
with "Clearlooks
configuration... is not supported" I don't remember the details
exactly.
I'm using a Dell 2007WFP monitor with an optimum resoultion of
1680x1050 @60 Hz
but my bootargs are the same as Chris's.
How exactly should I configure xorg.conf ? The last time I messed
around with it my screen
went black...I'd appreciate an example that someone has working...

this should be harmless, I guess its a compatibility issue with latest GTK. It
might be a good idea to update the theme or just to drop it since the default
theme has improved over the years.
