    Default Qt5 on Raspberry Pi EGLFS wrong screen resolution

    Hello,

    currently i am developing an application for my Raspberry Pi. The Resolution of the screen that I use is 480x234.
    The Qt-Application starts with "-platform eglfs".
    The problem now is that the resolution is totaly messed up.
    /dev/fb0 is set up correctly and returns the correct values. The Terminal looks also good.
    I also tried to set the enviroment variables "QT_QPA_EGLFS_WIDTH" and "QT_QPA_EGLFS_HEIGHT" but that didnt helped. (Enviroment Variables found here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/bl...hooks_stub.cpp)

    Could someone please help me on how to set the correct screen resolution?

    thanks and regards

    What resolution are you getting?

    Default Re: Qt5 on Raspberry Pi EGLFS wrong screen resolution

    Hello,

    I found out that if I start the Application with "-platform linuxfb" it is using the correct resolution.

    The Screen is connected via Composite. Here are two Pictures where you can see the problem:
    This is how it should look(-platform linuxfb)
    http://sdrv.ms/ZxJG6M

    This is what it looks like (-platform eglfs)
    http://sdrv.ms/14wd0CH

    In Qt-Creator the size of the window/image is set to 480x234 (the resolution of the Screen)
    But on the Screen it looks like it is using something arround 800x600 i think

    The Problem why i cant use linuxfb is because i need mouse-support. (Touchscreen)
    Or did i just miss that the linuxfb also supports mouse?

    Default Re: Qt5 on Raspberry Pi EGLFS wrong screen resolution

    when i try to deploy qtwidget application , i am not getting anything dispalyed on the raspberry pi
    it is displaying as

    SSH is enabled and the default password for the 'pi' user has not been changed.
    This is a security risk - please login as the 'pi' user and type 'passwd' to set a new password.

    Unable to query physical screen size, defaulting to 100 dpi.
    To override, set QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_WIDTH and QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_HEIGHT (in millimeters).

    can you help me in how to set QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_WIDTH and QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_HEIGHT?
