HyperPixel 4.0 - VNC screen resolution setting?

Support
1

Hi,

Is there a way to change (increase) the resolution of the (shared/virtual) screen I see on my mac when using VNC?

The resolution in config.txt is set to the correct resolution for the HyPix screen(800x480), but I’d rather a larger display when I log in from my mac…

Can this EVEN be DONE!!!???

Thanks.

I would say thats done in VNC, and should be doable.

@Tim_Allan_UK You can set the resolution if you use a virtual vnc connection.

I’ve been trying to change the resolution on the “real” vnc connection but it seems to be stuck at the HP4.0 resolution. :(

Edit
You can change the framebuffer_width and framebuffer_height in your boot/config.txt file to manually set the resolution of the hyperpixel. This will change the resolution of your VNC connection and it willchange the resolution of the GUI on your hyperpixel.

Hi there

Reading this thread I was able of changing VNC and screen resolution, but can anyone point me to a good resolution that fully covers screen (I hate black bands but I want to work at my remote computer)

This is my config.txt file

framebuffer_width=1920
framebuffer_height=1080
