Hi there,
I have a TI Pandaboard ES. I´m attempting to use F17 ARM on it, but since I
don´t have a HDMI monitor, I´m using an external "HDMI TO VGA" HD converter
that works otherwise fine with the output of my IPTV adapter and DTT (over
the air HDTV) receiver, and I get great images, as long as the output from
these devices is set at 720P on the HDMI port.
However, when plugging the Pandaboard ES, all I get on the VGA monitor is a
fuzzy image, with tiny font and barely readable text. Reminds me of the days
of attempting to see the output of an Amiga 500 on a TV through the external
RF modulator.
My guess is that the Pandaboard ES is making the default text mode (the one
you get when booting to a command line Linux session) work at very high res,
1080P mode or something...
Is there any easy way to set the default resolution and refresh rates on the
Pandaboard ES HDMI port?
What does xrandr report the display supports. You should be able to
set it from there.
I would honestly look at the F18 alpha release, I think you might do
better there.
