BeagleBone Black Tips && Tricks
Nonstandard HMDI Resolution
Beaglebone X uses framebuffer device, So adding a modeline in xorg.conf won't work. Likewise any fb-resolutions given on the kernelCL depend on that framebuffer-resolution already defined. In the end, none of that is really needed.
Steps:
- generate a new fb config, using gtf <width> <height> <refreshrate> -f
- add it to /etc/fb.modes
- you're done, the rest happens automatically
- fb.modes.example
mode "1440x900-60" # PCLK: 106.47 MHz, H: 55.92 kHz, V: 60.00 Hz geometry 1440 900 1440 900 32 timings 9392 232 80 28 1 152 3 hsync low vsync high endmode
