I have a BananaPI M1 and I have installed the Armbian. The current resolution is 1920 x 1080 (px) which is very small. There is only 1920x1080 option in Settings> Display. How can I shrink this?

Version:

Armbian 5.35 Bananapi

Ubuntu xenial default 3.4.113

  • this completely unrelated, but how much big is your monitor? because 1920x1080 is ok with at least 24' monitors!

First you must use this command to calculate the parameters you need to insert into xrandr:

cvt 1366 768

You can change 1366 768 as based on your desire mostly, use your favorite resolution. the above command will give you output something like this:

# 1368x768 59.88 Hz (CVT) hsync: 47.79 kHz; pclk: 85.25 MHz
Modeline "1368x768_60.00"   85.25  1368 1440 1576 1784  768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync

Copy the string after Modeline:

"1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784  768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync

then insert it into the below command:

xrandr --newmode "1368x768_60.00" 85.25 1368 1440 1576 1784  768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync

I think you using VGA monitor, so this command will assign this resolution to your monitors settings:

xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1368x768_60.00"

Finally you can active it with this command:

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode "1368x768_60.00"

Please remember THE VGA1 is completely based on your device! if you are using something else than VGA, replace this parameter with another value.
