Hi all
Does that work for any of you ? Or is there any way to change the video output ?
On my side, it doesn’t with two different monitors : they state that the range is too high, although their specifications go up to 75Hz vertical refresh rate. And I also tried with two different adapters I use for the same purpose on two Rpi3.
If I could get that to work, it would mean we could reuse a bunch of still working monitors and replace the aging boxes with a number of VIMs.
Many thanks in advance
EDIT : more debug details that I should have included in this initial post.
The two different monitors I tried display the following error messages :
Hi, kitesurfer:
Yes, it’s possible for VIM for to output with different resolutions, but current release doesn’t support yet. Can you provide below information to us:
I use a 1440*900@75hz with a HDMI to DVI adapter. Works without problem with android and libreelec. Didn’t try ubuntu though. Only thing is I don’t have sound with this adapter, but it’s OK for testing.
Thanks for letting me know. I actually wish I had taken more time to test that display configuration on Android before erasing it to replace it with Linux. In the long term that’s the platform I want to be in, but in the mean time it could have yielded some useful information.
Anyway, from your experience at least I know that the same resolution at the same frequency works with DVI ; perhaps there is less overhead for the adapter’s processor to ‘translate’ to a digital format than to VGA’s analog one ? If so, scaling down the initial output received from the VIM might make things better ?
Cheers
EDIT : the Hyundai monitor actually has a DVI connector as well, I just remembered, so building on your experience, I’ve just bought online an HDMI to DVI cable and will report back my findings ; regarding the sound, as for you, its absence is not critical and may anyway be worked around using the bluetooth channel. Thanks again
Well that’s a relative success : it works all right with the above mentionned hdmi to dvi cable.
But now I’m facing, as others from what I’ve read on the forum (Screen Resolution (Ubuntu) for instance), the impossibility to easily change resolution to adapt to a smaller monitor.
I’m going to try http://docs.khadas.com/social/BuildUbuntuRootfsViaPrebuiltImage/ …
Hi, Gouwa,
How about support 800*480 resolution over HDMI in android? Is it real? I wanna use khadas vim board in my car pc project. I must compile own kernel with custom resolution and timings settings?
