OpenSuSE on Pi ignoring /boot/config.txt

Hi,

I've successfully installed the latest version of OpenSuSE on my Raspberry Pi. Now I do have X working, but unfortunately it's stuck in some very low resolution like 640x480. No matter what I set in config.txt, it appears that this is completely ignored by the OS.

As OpenSuSE comes with 2 config.txt files by default (/boot/efi/Config.txt and /boot/vc/Config.txt) I tried the settings below in both files (and I tried /boot/config.txt as well). All with no luck. So, what am I doing wrong here? I also tried using all lowercase characters for the config.txt filename, as well as various settings for hdmi_mode.

Config.txt:

Code:

# Get more options/information on http://elinux.org/RPiconfig
# Our kernels are located on a Linux partition. Chainload U-Boot to load them.
kernel=u-boot.bin
# Use 64 MB for GPU for RPi with 256 MB (Min 16 - Max 192 MB)
gpu_mem_256=64
# Use 128 MB for GPU for RPi with 512 MB (Min 16 - Max 448 MB)
gpu_mem_512=128
# Turbo mode: 0 = enable dynamic freq/voltage - 1 = always max
force_turbo=0
# Start in turbo mode for 30 seconds or until cpufreq sets a frequency
initial_turbo=30
# Max ARM freq (default 700 MHz)
arm_freq=840
# Max core (GPU) freq (default 250 MHz)
core_freq=375
# SDRAM freq (default 400)
sdram_freq=400
# DO NOT overvoltage manually to not void warranty!
over_voltage=0
# Set display
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=82

Kind regards,
Louis

since there was no answer:
I think you can set here the default behavior of the hardware, but X is probably configured in xorg.conf (and it remembered that low res settings). So check it and try to remove/rename it. I hope that helps.

Hi,

Well, I'm afraid that did not do the trick. I set it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf. But SuSE on PI is probably really about auto detecting and upon reboot it just undid my changes there.

Kind regards,
