Raspbian Tweaks

Raspbian OS tweaks for personal taste or for better functionality.

Official 7-inch Screen

These are tweaks for modifying the way the Raspberry Pi Official 7-inch Screen displays its output.

Change Screen Rotation

Edit the /boot/config.txt with the following:

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

// Place at top of file

lcd_rotate=2

Reboot the Raspberry Pi with the following command:

sudo reboot

Change Screen Resolution

Change the default 800x480 resolution, editing the /boot/config.txt file with the following:

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

// change Frame Buffer Lines to the following:

framebuffer_width=1024
framebuffer_height=614

Reboot and check the resolution with this command:

fbset -s

These frame buffer sizes appear to be the best balance between quality and achievable resolution, but can be modified to suit a user's needs.
