HDMI to VGA converter, no video on first boot after power up

Thu Jul 09, 2015 6:41 pm

HDMI to VGA converter (without audio)
Monitor LG L1718S 17"
config.txt

Code: Select all

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=35
gpu_mem=16
device_tree=off
At power on the monitor is blank, you do not see the picture with a rainbow
I connect via SSH to RPi and reboot (reboot -r now), and I see a rainbow, and the image with RPi later
If you turn power off the appliance and turn it on again, history repeats itself

Unmark this line in your config.txt to force the use of HDMI at boot. You'll probably miss the rainbow logo and first few seconds of the bootlog but the the display activates automatically.

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

Where can I read about the options official information?
max_usb_current = 1
safe_mode_gpio = 4

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... fig-txt.md might be a little more helpful in this case.

You yourself check the information before you divided? I asked what options and whether they are the link that points?
max_usb_current = 1
safe_mode_gpio = 4
Search on page = not found !

Ok, so it seems that page has not been updated yet (?)

safe_mode_gpio = 4
was a temporary option and has been replaced by
max_usb_current = 1
Both will do the same thing.

Use a web search and you will find what you want.
