support for 800 x 480 resolution touchscreen

[wuxx]

Hello, I'm using a raspberry pi with a 800 x 480 resoution 4.3 inch CSI touchscreen, it's tiny and I think good to be a outside station, we can use the touchscreen to open the gpredict , use the raspberry pi GPIO to control the radio and rotator, but unfortunately it seems the gpredict do not support the resolution 800 x 480 very well, for example I can not add a new ground station (I know there is a ok button, but I can't see it ). which part of code can I try to fix it ? I would like to have a try

Seems you can set up a virtual desktop and scroll... https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/95738/virtual-resolution-scrolling

Thanks Mike! I update the framebuffer parameters in /boot/config.txt, now it works very well ! will close the issue

framebuffer_width=1600
