    Oh cummon Lilliput, just be yourself!

    The drivers I downloaded from CarTFT allow me to select 800*480, but Lilliput just does not display it, it gets the 480 bit right but the width is cut-off on the right and the whole thing pushed to the left, so no amount of re-positioning will work.

    One thing I didnt try was the secret "list all modes" button using the original drivers that came with the motherboard, but i'm guessing it would not have native support of 800x480 or someone on here would have said.

    Looks ok on 8x6 with centrafuse running, just a shame its not as crisp as it should be.

    Now, the install...

    Not sure what that means....

    Its a shame the CarTFT doesnt display right... is there something close like 768x480 or something? Maybe that fits right.

    I mean to say most users here use the Xenarc 7" wide screen, which runs 800x460 resolution as Xenarc has posted a solution for it. However this solution does not apply to the Lilliput screens.

    Few ppl here use 8" widescreen (don't confuse this with regular 8" screen that are 4:3 ratio with a native resolution of 800x600) to have this problem widely discussed, also there isn't any other manufacturer that sells 8" widescreens for us to test out if they too can't run there native resolution of 800x480.

    Stompit, i'd personally contact CarTFT regarding this matter, Lilliput did not respond to ANY of my numerous e-mails regarding this issue. Call CarTFT and tell them u have a problem with the lillput not being able to run at its native resolution, the dealer (CarTFT) should have direct contact with Lilliput so we can get an answer to this issue.

    i'm assuming you bought the lilliput screen from CarTFT.

    I think the solution to this is to get the LinITX 8" widescreen controller, taht will solve the issue. but who sells controllers alone?

    why would changing the controller solve the problem? the native resoltion is dictated directly with the LCD.

    Is there a driver that works with the LinITX board? if so then the same driver might work for the lilli....

    Thanks for all the feedback

    I purchased the Lilliput on Ebay through the Extreme Audio Electronics store. I'll get in contact with them and let them know the prob.

    Ta!

    i got mine from the same guys.

    i'v e-mailed them, no answer also.

    My issue was that i didn't fully test out the resolution as i didn't think it was an issue. I realized this 3 months after purchase so there ignoring me maybe.

    If u bought it recently, i'd push for answers around or threaten a bad feedback.

    keep us updated!

    yes, but the controller is not outputing it on teh screen correctly.

    the LinITX screen is the exact same screen used by the liliputs, and it seems to have no issues with that resolution from what ppl are saying.

    hence its a controller issue. there are no drivers for screens (unless ur referring to video card drivers).

    Ohhhh ic what you are saying now. Its the board not putting the right info on the LCD... but LinITX should send the correct info to the screen. Gotcha now.

    I was refering to the video card driver. But there are some instances where there are drivers for a screen. Most of the time they are renamed verions of the generic display/monitor driver in windows or whatever OS you us.... but once in a while they add extra support for unique features. Usually nothing to do with resolution.. but id throw it out there anyway
