Resolution NOOBS

[Substring]

@Usato Just got the confirmation from one of the author of noobs : you can use a config.txt

[Usato]

I have already tried to press 1-2-3-4
It would want the option 5 (Custom Resolution Settings)

The config.txt file has changed and thanks to this I have no problems in viewing recalbox and raspbian, but the boot menu can not be displayed.
I see white screen with vertical lines.

@Usato drop it in the very first partition, the noobs one. It's like configuring BIOS, this file is read prior to booting the OS.

[Usato]

This is interesting...
can you explain it better?
I would like to have more details ...

[Usato]

If I modify the files:
/media/pi/SYSTEM/noobs.conf ?

or

/ Media / pi / 01A6-0A6B (I believe the noobs partition) /config.txt ?

For a reboot i saw the picture of noobs, bad quality, but i was fine, then i deleted the string: "hdmi_drive = 1" and after everything came back as before ... then i got it back but nothing.
I really do not understand.

Ps: I will reboot 30 times to do the tests.

I have no idea where it is mounted in raspbian, i'd rather trust it's the /dev/mmcblk0p1, up to you to check where it is mounted with mount

[Usato]

This was the result of "mount"

I honestly do not understand what to do.

@Usato The aim is to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 (the very first partition of the sdcard that is in fact noobs) and add a config.txt from here

just out of my mind, try :

mkdir -p /tmp/noobs
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/noobs

If mount succeeded, you should be able to cd /tmp/noobs and create a config.txt from there. Do you know which lines you're supposed to add to the config.txt for noobs ?

[Usato]

hmdi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt 1024 600 60 3 0 0 0

correct?

[Usato]

command:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/noobs

message:
mount: only root can do that

????

[Substring]

@Usato Sorry I'm so used to be root, and not having to sudo

So :

mkdir -p /tmp/noobs
sudo mount mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/noobs

Then editing the file needs to be done through sudo, always. For example : sudo nano /tmp/noobs/config.txt. I'm not sure about the mount options to give any user the read/write access to the mount point

[Usato]

ok, now?

ps
Why created folder / tmp / noobs?

[Substring]

@Usato now you edit the config.txt as suggested

I made you create a new folder in /tmp as it will get erased on reboot, so that you don't have ghost reps in /media/pi

[Usato]

ok done.
Reboot?

[Usato]

You are a fantastic genius.
If I could embrace you

[Usato]

@Substring I thank you heartily.

@Usato One more happy user
