Hi,

I tried the new linux image and I finally get a Khadas booting logo on my 1024x600 screen, however as soon as it booted the screen freaks out as it did before the update.
Do you have an idea of a fix ?

Thank you very much for your work

Hello @zak-souid

Which board? VIM4 or VIM1S?

Could you provide the full kernel log and edid of your screen to us ?

7

VIM4. How would you advise me to do that ? I tried Remote Desktop but at every reboot the password changes so it is not usable.

Hello @zak-souid

You can try to login with ssh.

9

Yeah I tried that but when running xandr I get “can’t open displays”

10

Hello @zak-souid

Please provide the kernel log and edid of your screen.

dmesg > kernel.txt
cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/rawedid > edid.txt

Please provide kernel.txt and edid.txt to us.

Good afternoon, we are working on a project with VIM4, the OS installed is Armbian with VIM4, the OS installed is Armbian, we have updated it but it doesn’t work with 1024x600 screens.
Any recommendations?

Greetings and thanks!

12

We will have new update soon to support 1024x600 resolution, and we will provide patch to Armbian to support it too.

13

Hi, Very good, thank you for your prompt reply, could you tell me estimated time? It’s just that we are now with the prototype of the project… Do you think we can look for a temporary solution? To make it work? Thank you very much! Yours sincerely.

14

As we don’t have a 1024x600 screen on hands now, so we need your help to check whether the test image works on the screen.

Please use oowow to install the test image vim4-ubuntu-22.04-gnome-linux-5.15-fenix-1.6.7-240531-develop-test-only.img.xz online to check whether the display work or not.

15

Ok, I’ll try it out and let you know. Thank you very much!

16

I’m sorry, I had installed another version - I installed the version you indicated exactly, when it starts, the Khadas logo is displayed, then nothing is displayed. I understand that the resolution changes don’t suit it… I’ll try to start it directly, let’s see… Please let me know your opinion.
Thanks!

Hello @Somnum_Technologies

Strange, we checked on our side with a 1024x600 screen and it works well.

Could you provide the following information to us?

$ dmesg
$ edid-decode < /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid
19

I’m going to do it right now. By the way, what screen did you use, just curious, thanks!!!

Have you updated the OS version you recommended after installing it?
