How to change the resolution, orientation and make it sound?


It can be done as you see here
forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...ge-resolution#292499

Are you telling me that I need to start all settings again with a new image file?
Or there is a video driver, I can use for this image I already have? (Image from the LCNC downlods category)

Excellent image, runs great on a quick test setup using Pi 5 and a Mesa 7i80-HD.

Thanks!

Yeah start again.

In my opinion, you should use this image that Linuxcnc already has, and copy the configurations you're already using.

The ability to change the resolution and orientation is already available in the tools available on the desktop.

What tools are they ?

I could never work out how to do it. This was the biggest issue I had when I was testing rod's images. Using a HDMI to DVI converter had resolution stuck at 600x480. Starting with the RaspiOS image and adding the RT kernel gave no issues, had full control of resolution.
One thing that should be added to the docs is the location of the config files and a mention that the RPi5 is not compatible with SPI due to the hardware changes to the RPi5 rather than stating that it is.

If I saw correctly, on your image the LCNC not the stable version.
How can I copy the system settings I have made? (not LCNC cofigs)
So, really, is there no video driver to install and solve the problem? (easy way, like in windows - uninstall the old, install the new and set it as needed)

Not really understand, why is in the downloads an image with a lot of "issues" and no mentions about it...
In most cases, at first, people trying the image and if there some problems, try to solve it an go to the forum.
This issues was known in January. Newbie people spending days and weeks in nowhere...
