Adjust Resolution of Android-x86 to 800x480

[micha.l...@googlemail.com]

Hello Communitiy.

I'm new here and I'm also new to Android, especially Android-x86.

This ist my Setup:

ITX-Board running Andoird-x86-Jelly Bean (build from source)

7" WVGA (800x480) Display connected via LVDS.

My Problem:

The Resolution doesn't fit. It is too large.

Is there a way to Setup the Resolution direclty from Android?

Otherwise, where to adjust in the Source?

Thank you very much in advance

Michael

Hi micha,

Try to add "vga=ask" to the kernel option. You'll get the vga mode
selection menu.

Cheers,

Hey Masaki,

thank you for your response.

First: I've tried to append vga=ask to bootline.

My desired resolution 800x480 does not appear. --> Is it possible that the board doesn't support this resolution?

Second: Each selection I take from vga=ask ends up in the same result. (See attachment )

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Hello micha,

When using vga=ask, it depends on your VGA card and your display
device which resolution can be selected.
Generally, it may be fixed by upgrading BIOS (if it is provided for your board).

Hey Masaki,

you've made my day!!

After BIOS Update it works.

Thank you and "Cheers"

After BIOS Update the BIOS provides me the needed resolution of 800x480 but vga=ask doesn't.

The display is now totally filled, but it looks like, that the picture is stretched.

Any thought?

Thank you

I half-fixed/ identified the problem like this way:

Installed an Ubuntu image (12.04)

Installed the cedar-view-graphics-drivers

--> This works.

Btw: Board is Intel Atom N2800 with Intel GMA 3600

Do you know how to port this drivers to android x86?

Thank you very much for help

You may use this kernel to rebuild your android-x86 image:

Hey Chih-Wei

thank you very much for your response.

I've downloaded the cdv-kernel and replaced the standard-kernel.

When now doing . build/envsetup.sh; lunch 5 (android-x86-eng); m iso_img I get the following error: "make: *** No rule to make target `kernel/arch/x86/configs/android-x86_defconfig"

Otherwise if I do build/envsetup.sh; lunch 5 (android-x86-eng); m iso_img TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG=x86_64_defconfig the build process is running complete, but the iso file doesn't work. That means, that the installer runs in a loop with "Select partition", "Choose filesystem", "Grub", "read/write".

Thanks for support in advance

No ideas?

I can't get the cdv-kernel running.

Thanks for help.
