[meta-freescale] resolution not changing

[PAPARO Nino (MM)]

Hi Eric,
Thank you very much for your help!
Running this command
setenv bootargs $bootargs video=mxcfb0:dev=lcd,CLAA-WVGA,bpp=24,if=RGB666
enabled 24 bit on my linux image (I checked with fbset ), but I think I'm still missing something because If for example I run Midori, all the pages and images seems to use few colors.
I modified  xorg.conf to change my screens timings and modeline but It did't fix the issue.
Is MACHINE imx6qsabrelite deprecated and  nitrogen6x should be used instead?

Regards,

Nino

I think you want 800x480M at 60 here instead of 800x480.

The "if=RGBx" parameter controls the output pixel format to match the display. It doesn't change the frame-buffer memory layout.

For that, you want to use the 'bpp=N' flag.

setenv bootargs $bootargs video=mxcfb0:dev=lcd,CLAA-WVGA,bpp=24,if=RGB666

You can verify this after boot by looking in /sys:
	# cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel
