I did not have that file installed. h3dmode 5 ran as expected, but after reboot, my monitor resolution still reports as 1280x720.
A note here, I am using the display app from XFCE settings menu. I installed the file then ran Code:
ln -s sunxi-tools-git_20171207_5c19710-arm-1mara.txz /boot/script.bin Code:
bash-4.4# h3dmode 5 |

something is wrong
1. installpkg sunxi-tools-git_20171207_5c19710-arm-1mara.txz in /boot should be: Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34984 Dec 10 09:50 script-hdmi.bin Code:
h3dmode 4 Code:
h3dmode 5 |
Yes. In /boot I have
Code:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35072 Dec 10 01:50 script-hdmi-to-dvi.bin |
analyze
Code:
bin2fex /boot/script-hdmi.bin /tmp/script-hdmi.fex screen0_output_mode = 5 ok maybe you need another resolution, for example Code:
h3dmode 6 |
I ran the analysis, and apparently h3dmode is indeed working as results come back showing whatever I set. And default resolution changes if I make large enough change. However, regardless of setting I choose, the screen still exceeds the edges of my monitor. h3dmode 5 still seems the best trade off as I can use it this way.

I have to pack it in for now. I have some other things I have to take care of before the day ends. I appreciate all your help, and especially patience in working with me. I'll return to this later in the evening, or tomorrow.

While out taking care of other business, I finally pulled my head out of my fourth point of contact and remembered I'm supposed to be a broadcast engineer (retired). When I did that I remembered 720p IS 1280x720. So the monitor is showing exactly what it should with those settings. I guess what was throwing me off was the fact that the default setting is all it allows.

use
Code:
h3dmode 9 |
Ok, I did something incredibly stupid even for me. The system will no longer boot at all so I am in the process of re-installing from scratch I'll get back once I have it back to the point I was at.

I'm marking this thread solved as it did do what I initially wanted. I'm moving to a new test with this device and will be starting a new thread. (or joining an existing thread)
