Hi,
I've done some testing and as far as I can tell this works for me, is it possible that stmfb.conf didn't save properly? Along with this are you using the latest Raspsbian version from the software download page?
Thanks,
Matt

[irisg_guy]

Thanks Matt...

I did download the latest version from the website... I think. How can I check what version is on the board?

fourkopen@4kopen:/etc/modprobe.d $ uname -r
3.10.92-stih418_family

Any chance you could copy and paste the stmfb.conf file you used here? Hers is my file..

This is the conf I used, it looks to be identical to yours.
Also the last Raspbian update was a month ago if I recall, so since you got your board recently It should be fine.
I'll continue looking into it but I'm unsure what the problem is currently.

Thanks Matt...

I will run a file compare on Monday when back at work...

[MattMunro]

Hi,
It occurs to me that there is a slight difference between booting from SD card and USB, all of my testing has been done through a USB device. Which are you using?
Thanks, Matt
PS. if you are using an SD card, the development version has "./etc/udev/rules.d/90-qemu.rules" removed, I'm unsure if this will solve your problem as I only know it was to do with the SD card booting. I'd move it somewhere safe (such as your Document directory) just encase as I don't know why this hasn't been pushed yet.

[irisg_guy]

Hi Matt,
Yes I am booting from SD card... I will try to remove that file and then I will test running from USB...

Appreciate your help.

Louis

[irisg_guy]

Ok... got it working

I put the OS on the USB key and make the changes to the stmfb.conf file. It still did not work but now it did not default to 1080p. I tested another monitor and it worked perfect.

Thanks for your help.
Louis
