Custom resolution?

yomisma · May 30, 2020 at 1:35 PM

Hi, I'd like to know how can I set up a custom resolution on LibreElec.

I am using an Intel mini laptop with a broken screen, which is connected via VGA to a TV.

The laptop maximun resolution is 1024x600, and the TV is HD Ready, so I guess it is 1366×768.

But LibreElec only let me select 1024x768p as the maximum resolution. I have selected VGA1 as monitor, and "blank other displays" is on.

I'd like to know how can I set the resolution to 1366×768.

Thanks.

~~You can use config.txt to define a custom resolution. Read here, chapter "Custom mode".~~

Thanks for answering.

How do I open and edit that config.txt file? I am using LibreElec as the only OS installed on the laptop.

Sorry, I was reading wrong. The config.txt does only exist on RPi's.

If you find xorg.conf somewhere, check resolution settings of that file, too.

I'm an RPi user, so I can't give precise answers about Intel settings.

PS: Try this before customizing EDID.
