107:
108: ## Video overscan compensation
109:
110: On some television models, the borders of the screen may be cut off. If your television doesn't have an option to disable overscan, you can enable overscan compensation by entering the following commands at the U-Boot prompt:
111:
112: setenv video-mode sunxi:1280x720-24,overscan_x=32,overscan_y=20
113: saveenv
114: reset
1.90 wiki 115:
116: ## Pinebook function keys
117:
118: The sleep (Fn+Esc), home (Fn+F1), volume down (Fn+F3), volume up (Fn+F4), and mute (Fn+F5) keys on the keyboard are mapped to uhid(4) devices.
119:
120: Create the following config file:
121:
122: [[!template id=filecontent name="/etc/usbhidaction.conf" text="""
123: Consumer:Consumer_Control.Consumer:Volume_Up 1
124: mixerctl -n -w outputs.master++
125: Consumer:Consumer_Control.Consumer:Volume_Down 1
126: mixerctl -n -w outputs.master--
127: Consumer:Consumer_Control.Consumer:Mute 1
128: mixerctl -n -w outputs.mute++
129: Consumer:Consumer_Control.Consumer:AC_Home 1
130: /etc/powerd/scripts/hotkey_button AC_Home pressed
131: Generic_Desktop:System_Control.Generic_Desktop:System_Sleep 1
132: /etc/powerd/scripts/sleep_button System_Sleep pressed
133: """]]
134:
135: Then start two copies of usbhidaction:
136:
137: [[!template id=programlisting text="""
138: # /usr/bin/usbhidaction -c /etc/usbhidaction.conf -f /dev/uhid0 -i -p /var/run/usbhidaction-uhid0.pid

1.98 wiki 142: ## Pinebook keyboard
143:
144: The new 11" 1080p model has a slightly different keyboard layout to the 14".
145: Using wscons it works perfectly, but using X the \ key next to left shift will display > when pressed.
146: To solve this, you need to change the keyboard layout to altgr-intl. This can be done system wide by creating the file:
147:
148: [[!template id=filecontent name="/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-keyboard.conf" text="""
149: Section "InputDevice"
150: Identifier "Pinebook 1080p keyboard"

1.103 wiki 157: ## Pinebook touchpad
158:
159: To fix jittery touch input on the touchpad, you can adjust the input sensitivity by creating the file:

173:
174: X11 currently cannot work out the size of the screen, resulting in a very small DPI on a very small screen.
175: This file configures X to use an 11.6" screen, which results in very readable a DPI of 190.
