I can't get my monitor to display anything other the the rainbow screen screen. I have a Dell P2414H (1080p)monitor that will support 1280x720. I have the config.txt set for hdmi_group=2 and hdmi_mode=85.
The monitor is connected using a DVI connection with a adapter to HDMI. Is there something else I can do to see the monitor screen as the Raspberry LCD does?

Try a HDMi to DVi Cable ( no adaptors ):

Re: Pi 4 and LineageOS 16
Thanks for the suggestion but, I tried to connect to my TV using HDMI. I changed the group to CEA and selected a mode for that category, but got the same results. So its not an issues at the physical layer.
I think its has to do with the EDID.dat file that has the resolution configuration settings. I do see the file on the SD card or its corrupt.

Solved *** Re: Pi 4 and LineageOS 16
It was not the Edid.dat file, but serial console configuration that was interfering with the HDMI not working.
Go to the config.txt file under Boot directory and change "enable_Uart=1" to 0. It is turn on by default.
I hope that this will help others who are having the same issue with HDMI 0 not display correctly. Please remember that you have to use 720p solutions due to the graphics driver limitation. I hope one day that a higher resolution driver can be used.
