I have two problems with the video on my Orange pi PC 2 (with H5).

Problem 1:  Can't set video resolution

If I list the video modes, I only get one choice:

cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes
U:1280x720p-0



Problem 2:  Can't get display with DVI cable to work

I have an older monitor that only has a DVI connector.  I have a HDMI to DVI cable that works with other computers (including raspberry pi 2).
I think the monitor goes into power saving mode when I use PC2.

Thanks,
Michael

I used dtc to set "screen0_output_mode = <0xa>;"
The dtc was updated, but it didn't seem to make any difference in the video.  That's what I expected, given your comments.

It guess this means that:

• Everyone using the current images can only get 1280x720.
• This is a know problem and is being worked on.
• I should probably wait for a new image.
  

Also, should I expect a new image to work with my DVI monitors (using a hdmi to dvi cable)?

Thanks

P.S.  There was a time when I thought 1280 was awesome.  I think it was 1280x1024 back then.

I don't think anyone from the sunxi-linux community has done significant progress on the H5, from what I read it is most likely 6-months away from anything useful even with the minimal of functionality.

For the images that Buddy is providing, those that we currently all use, I do not know either if he is gonna look into it or not.

Not sure for H5, but H3 based OPI's needed different script.bin for different resolution and different video interfaces. Example :
script.bin.OPI-2_1080p60
script.bin.OPI-2_1080p60_dvi
script.bin.OPI-2_1080p60_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-2_480p
script.bin.OPI-2_480p_dvi
script.bin.OPI-2_480p_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-2_720p50
script.bin.OPI-2_720p50_dvi
script.bin.OPI-2_720p50_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-2_720p60
script.bin.OPI-2_720p60_dvi
script.bin.OPI-2_720p60_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-PC_1080p50
script.bin.OPI-PC_1080p50_dvi
script.bin.OPI-PC_1080p50_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-PC_1080p60
script.bin.OPI-PC_1080p60_dvi
script.bin.OPI-PC_1080p60_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-PC_480p
script.bin.OPI-PC_480p_dvi
script.bin.OPI-PC_480p_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-PC_720p50
script.bin.OPI-PC_720p50_dvi
script.bin.OPI-PC_720p50_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-PC_720p60
script.bin.OPI-PC_720p60_dvi
script.bin.OPI-PC_720p60_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_1080p50
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_1080p50_dvi
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_1080p50_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_1080p60
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_1080p60_dvi
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_1080p60_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_480p
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_480p_dvi
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_480p_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_720p50
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_720p50_dvi
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_720p50_hdmi
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_720p60
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_720p60_dvi
script.bin.OPI-PLUS_720p60_hdmi

look here: http://www.orangepi.org/orangepi ... &extra=page%3D1
for a new scriptbin pack

I think, it must be different for the H5.

What output do you get, on the H3, for:
cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes

Thanks

I have two framebuffer devices now on a OPI one, fb0 is a standard gpu for HDMI output, fb8 is a fbtft device for 2.2 SPI 240x320 LCD.
Here is output for both:

Thanks.

I thought that "modes" would list all the available video resolution modes.  I guess I was wrong about that.

I don't think the H5 version of linux uses script.bin.  It does have a file called uEnv.txt:


Do you think I should change uEnv.txt?
If so, what should it look like?

Thanks
