Re: Which FreeBSD image file should be used in conjunction with idbloader.img and u-boot.itb ?

---> The video you attached is rather blurry, I don't see it well. I can
recognize something is running on the screen but I'm not quite sure what it
is.

What you aren't able to see well is xfce4 installed on FreeBSD 14.3-Stable
running on the Radxa-3W. It works well on my big monitor that I keep at
1920x1080 of resolution,but it goes round and round like a carousel on my
720x720 display.

I've grabbed two log files that I have attached to this email.

The log called "log-big-monitor" comes from the monitor that I'm using
right now at 1920x1080 resolution connected to the RadXA 3w via HDMI.

The log called "log-720 x 720-display" comes from the 4x4 inches display
that I've bought to use with the smartphone that I want to create.

You will see that it thinks that the display is 1280x720 (720p) and that is
wrong and will likely cause the display to not understand what it gets
delivered…

Someone should tweak EDK2 to use a 720x720 resolution. I don't have the
skills to do this. Can you make something ?

It's necessary to start hacking the EDK2 code at :

Thanks.
