Graphic's Resolution

[noah.thomas]

hello i bought a Rasberry pi around October when it arrived i had already got a monitor keaboard and mouse but my monitor was VGA so i could not use the pi due to the lack of VGA slot's so i purchased a VGA to HDMI converter this turned out not to work because the pi does not give anough output to power it up. so i could not use the pi so again i purchased another converter this time it powered itself because it's main's powerd this worked except my moniter is 1024x768 and the pi gives out a 1080x768 so i need to adjust the resolution but i dont no the command too adjust the resolution please help i need to know the command

Here are my notes on graphics set up for VGA...

Use full screen.

Edit/create config.txt in /boot (aka FAT32);

disable_overscan=1

Maybe add:

hdmi_drive=1 (no sound on HDMI)
config_hdmi_boost=4 (signal boost, range 1 to 7, depending on cable length)

Other config entries of use:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1 Use HDMI mode even if no HDMI monitor is detected
hdmi_group=2 DMT
hdmi_mode=16 1024x768 60Hz
hdmi_mode=17 1024x768 70Hz
hdmi_mode=18 1024x768 75Hz
hdmi_mode=19 1024x768 85Hz
hdmi_mode=35 1280x1024 60Hz
hdmi_mode=36 1280x1024 75Hz
hdmi_mode=37 1280x1024 85Hz
