Hello all

I have a TFT with 1920x720, and I try to control this with the HDMI from my BBB.

I am trying with cmdline
cmdline=coherent_pool=1M quiet cape_universal=enable video=HDMI-A-1:1920x720M@30e

this disable the hdmi-output

but i think the output is randomly… actually the resolution is 640x480, it seems that my BBB takes the resolution from previous adjustment in the uEnv.txt. But now the resolution that i have adjust is 800x480… and it takes 640?? why

anyway how can I know which resolution works surely?

thanks

with raspberry it’s really much simpler!! :frowning:
=> I was successfully set up the output by simply adding a command"hdmi_cvt=1920 720 60 0 0 0 0" in config.txt
