set vnc resolution to 1920x1080 using a touch screen lcd
April 13, 2024, 06:55
after losing everything due to an sd card failure i rebuilt my rpi (with the 7" touchscreen monitor).
everything works fine except that when i connect via vnc i see a really small resolution of 800x480 which i guess is the screens resolution.
How can I have it to use 1080p or / 4k when connecting to it via vnc ?
I tried raspi-config but it didnt work.
thank you
If I'm not completely wrong, you have to set this in the VNC itself.
Your aren't wrong
erm what?
in vnc its set correctly
i think something needs to be added in boot/config.txt
The monitor you have on it can do max. 800 x 480! You can't set it to 1920x1080.
i dont want it to do anything else
i just want to virtually connect to it to 1920x1080
for example when connecting via vnc or anydesk or teamviewer or whatever i see 1920x1200
this was working fine for years now
I don't use VNC, so I have no further ideas.
Maybe it's the new operating system, I don't think you have the same one as before...
Or something has changed in VNC itself since then...
highly doubt that cause this happend around a week ago
i basically need a virtual screen in addition to the default0
Then document what you do so that you can repeat it.
Well, I have no idea, I manage my servers via ssh 🤷♂️
yeah that'd be helpful
can anyone help me?
What specifically do you need help with?
Setting vnc resolution?
for starters thanks for getting back to me
i want to set a virtual resolution without changing the tft screen of the pi.
before this happend i was able to connect to the pi in 1920x1080 and the top left portion of the desktop was shown on the tft
in short: i want to connect headless to 1920x1080 whilst having the monitor running at its default resolution.
the only temp solution i've found so far is to set the tft running at 1920x1080
VNC is not a remote of the physical display, it is a virtual display. So forget the TFT display when you discuss VNC.
yes exactly why i only want the headless (and the tft to run at its default)
update: I tried to create a virtual display using xandr, xorg.conf, config.txt overscans etc. nothing works. all i see in screen layout editor is 'default'
this is how it used to be
the tft screen was taking exactly the padd terminal window as seen in the pic
this is obviously an old screenshot
