I'm reviewing WTWare to use in a corporate environment, strictly net booting. We have started issuing ultrawide monitors to staff members who would have used 2 monitors in the past, as such I need to be able to show WTWare working and supporting ultrawide resolutions.

I have tried manual resolution of 2560x1080 in the configuration file but so far all I get is stretched 1920x1080.

Researching the issue of this resolution for the Pi3, it seems it can be used with the following parameters...

Code: Select all

hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_aspect_21_9=7
hdmi_pixel_freq_limit=400000000
hdmi_cvt=2560 1080 50 7 0 0 1
#config_hdmi_boost=4
max_framebuffer_width=2560
max_framebuffer_height=1080
framebuffer_width=2560
framebuffer_height=1080

how would I configure my PXE boot terminals to support this resolution.

Video settings are to be specified not in Wtware configuration file, but in Raspberry config.txt file. But as said on manufacturer's site: "The highest supported mode is 1920x1200 at 60Hz with reduced blanking." https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... t/video.md
hdmi_mode=87 is not specified in their manual. You may try your configuration, but I can't predict the result. In any case even if it will work - on Rasbperry such image will draw very slow.

Thanks for the reply. I did notice that in VTWare Center, the resolution options on my Pi 3B+, go all the way up to 3440x1440, so I assumed that maybe the 2560x1080 resolution had maybe just been accidentally left out of the resolutions list.

Thanks, adding this to config enabled the mode I needed, no problem with 60hz
