Resolution Headless RPT without HDMI connected
#1
I'am using OpenPlotter with a Chromebook via VNC server. If the HDMI screen is connected I get a nice resolution on my Chromebook.

However, when I disconnect the HDMI screen the Chromebook VNC server comes up in a low resolution. I have tried several options but with no results. Is it the screen sensor Edid giving the wrong signals to the system ? What changes the resolution when no HDMI screen is connected ?

Cannot find the solution for this.

Any suggestions where tot look ?

Hello,
Try the settings in the config.txt.
sudo nano /boot/config.txt

remove the # before
framebuffer_width=1280
framebuffer_height=720

I hope it works out.

Hi Jurgen,

I have tried all these solutions but without HDMI the VNC viewer defaults in a low resolution. But I have finally found how to get the required resolution
on the VNC client:

install x11vnc

then

x11vnc -configure 1024x600

And now this resolution appears as the VNC viewer on my Chromebook.

Regards,

Bram

x11vnc -configure 1024x600

. Nun erscheint diese Auflösung als VNC-Viewer auf meinem Chromebook.

However I prefer the RealVNC software . Installed the latest RealVNC server (version 6.4.1) on my RPI 3b+.

I have not succeeded to get the VNC client in the high resolution setting via the config.txt.

Software looks first at the HDMI port. If no HDMI monitor is connected it start in the low resolution version.

To simply solve this problem, I have added a Dummy HDMI dongle to the HDMI port then I get high resolution on the Chromebook and other systems as an VNC client. These plugins cost around € 8 to 10,-

Settings in the config.txt:

HDMI_safe=1

HDMI_force_hotplug=1

That is all you have to do.

Works perfect now and fast with the latest kernel version 4.19.36-V7+ and latest updates. VC4 driver (OpenGL) full to on.

Regards,

Bram
