    Hi,
    I am using OMAP35x SOM LV. I am trying to use a custom LCD panel with 480x640 resolution.
    I am able to display a bitmap during LOLO. But while booting into Linux, only 480x270 resolution is coming.
    I have tried changing different display modes with 640x480 and omapfb.rotation etc, but unable to display.

    Any sugestion would help.

    Thanks
    Prakash

    Prakash,

    Did you erase the Uboot display variables before you tried to boot Linux?
    If you ever booted with the kit display, the variables for that display are stored in flash. You will need to erase them to use a different display.
    Thanks

    Please see the note in Section 2.13.6 #3 of the Linux BSP User Guide for erasing previous U-boot settings.
    Erase U-Boot's environment:

    losh> erase /dev/nand0 B2046 B2

    Thanks
