Hello. Would someone help me with simply adjusting the resolution to 128x160 Pixels for my 1.8" LCD display. I can boot into the XWindow GUI interface but can only see a small portion. How do I adjust the resolution to fit the screen?
Thanks

I needed to know how to reverse (switch screens basically) so I did not enable fbcon on startup yet. So once I switch to LCD screen, how do I switch back to using composite video?

pi@raspberrypi - $ /boot/cmdline.txt
/boot/cmdline.txt: line 1: duc_otg.lpm_enable=0: command not found.

Yeah that's true. In that case, how do I rotate the screen horizontal to use the console?
I know it works vertical, but it would be nice to know.

Well really all I wanted was to use the LCD as a "Main screen." which I can by using to view the console, or viewing the desktop
( sudo FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb1 startx) But is there a way to resize the whole desktop? I can only see a small part. Can I adjust the resolution?

It was right below! well thank you for your help in guiding me. I appreciate it a lot

Never Mind. Got it all under control! the command:

sudo con2fbmap 1 1

allowed me to view the console. Very much appreciated!!!

now I need this to happen automatically. How do I do this?

Thank you so very much for that image. I followed all the instructions but did not set up the game because I do not have the buttons. So now that I have that, how to I use the screen to view the boot up process and use it as the normal screen?

Which one is the image? There are 19 files and they are not downloads. They are all code.
Do I build the image on the RPi?

Hello, and thank you so much for replying! Ok, so here is where I am as of now... For elektrknight: 1. I have the RPi wired up successfully to the LCD *Thanks 2.
