Description

Trying to get my klipper setup moved over to the Manta M5P with a CB1. I have gotten most of it working, but can't get the proper resolution provided to Klipperscreen. I am using a 7" 1024x600 HDMI Touch screen display. When I start the system, I could see the splash screen was stretched vertically. I was able to get the resolution set to the proper 1024x600 and the start screen shows properly now. However, when I run Klipperscreen, the display is elongated. Checking the logs, it shows the system reported the resolution as 1024x768.

I added

extraargs=video=HDMI-A-1:1024x600-24@60

to the BoardEnv.txt file which fixed the resolution to the boot screen. Based on the changes I did to get the display to work with the RPi4, I also added:

hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 3 0 0 0

To the file. Klipperscreen is still getting the wrong resolution.

Is there somewhere that I need to set the resolution at?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the CB1 display settings in BoardEnv.txt and the reported resolution in the Klipperscreen logs. Compare the HDMI mode settings with the 7-inch 1024x600 display configuration described here. Done means Klipperscreen reports and renders at 1024x600 rather than 1024x768.
