setting `disable_overscan` has no effect on my system
Closed this issue · 3 comments
This program was really helpful - thanks for putting it together. I had trouble in that no matter how I set disable_overscan in /boot/config.txt and rebooted, I would get the same error message :
"Overscan is currently disabled. Please add the line disable_overscan to the bottom of the config.txt"
I tried:
disable_overscan=0disable_overscan=1disable_overscan#disable_overscan=0#disable_overscan=1#disable_overscan
When I ran vcgencmd get_config int, I would see disable_overscan=1 regardless of the settings I had in /boot/config.txt.
Anyway, commenting out the block of code in set_overscan.sh that tests for overscan (if [ vcgencmd get_config disable_overscan | awk -F '=' '{print $2}' -eq "1") allowed the program to run perfectly.
i've just tried it again on a fresh sd card and it seems fine here and checking manually gives what i expect but i'll have a fiddle and see if i can replicate your observation and if yes i'll try to fix
I got the exact same behavior as @AGS-Knight, in case it helps
it looks like a few assumptions i made at the beginning are now false as the raspberry pi firmware has changed over the years. i've had a little fiddle around and used some of the changes that Alex Bradbury made to his version of set_overscan so give the new version a go and see if that helps
