After boot, visible screen is reduced to quarter of the native resolution
Some days ago my raspberry suddenly switched its display mode. It is now showing only a quarter of the available native resolution (1080p) of my TV. Tried several different options in the /boot/config.txt, none of them working. I guess it's worth noting that I've been using a different HDMI cable since a few weeks. This was however working fine for a certain amount of days and then the problem suddenly appeared. Switching to an alternative HDMI cable didn't make a difference, so I'm not certain if that's really the source of the problem.
Software XBian version: v1.0B2 XBMC version: 12.2 (Frodo) Overclock settings: Default Hardware Power supply rating: Link RPi model (model A/B 256mb/512mb): model B SD card size and make/type: Transcend 16 GB Network (wireless or LAN): LAN Connected devices (TV, USB, network storage, etc.): TV (Sony Bravia KDL 46EX500), USB hub with wireless mouse/keyboard and two external 2 TB USB drives. Logile Link to logfile(s): Nothing yet. Problem description: See above. How to reproduce: None. Suddenly appeared. These are the current settings in my /boot/config.txt Already tried some other hdmi_modes as well, without success. Code: #initramfs initramfs.gz 0x00a00000 Just in case it is relevant: Terminal xbian@xbian ~ $ tvservice -s state 0x12001a [HDMI CEA (16) RGB lim 16:9], 1920x1080 @ 60Hz, progressive Terminal Group CEA has 59 modes: mode 1: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive mode 2: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive mode 3: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz progressive mode 4: 1280x720 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive mode 5: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz interlaced mode 6: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced mode 7: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz x2 interlaced mode 8: 720x240 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz x2 progressive mode 9: 720x240 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:27MHz x2 progressive mode 10: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:54MHz x4 interlaced mode 11: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:54MHz x4 interlaced mode 12: 720x240 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:54MHz x4 progressive mode 13: 720x240 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:54MHz x4 progressive mode 14: 720x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:54MHz x2 progressive mode 15: 720x480 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:54MHz x2 progressive (prefer) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive mode 17: 720x576 @ 50Hz 4:3, clock:27MHz progressive ... Attached also a photo that shows the problem on my TV. Anything else I might try before flashing the system? |

RE: After boot, visible screen is reduced to quarter of the native resolution
This a common and simple occurrence. Just press the #key on a UK keyboard. The one next to the return key and you will be back in full screen mode.

Maybe it sounds stupid but what happens when you hit the "\" or "|" key (or shift "\" or shift "|" )? In my case these keys are close to my return key and sometimes I hit these keys I get the same result as your screenshot. KB |
