Nothing has changed on font sizes.

I expect this is entitled to your display. But without data impossible to guess.

  • What kind of display do you have. brand, HDMI, DSI,…, link to display
  • what is the output of:
    export DISPLAY=:0
    xrandr --query

I hope I don’t have to write into USERCONFIG like on the RPi4.

Use a program like putty and make the connection volumio@<your-devices-ipaddress>
and run the commands:

export DISPLAY=:0
xrandr --query

I expect your screen has multiple resolutions and it loads the wrong one.
You can also set the scale to 150.

Thanks for sharing. This shows that there is only one resolution available. So I expect you have always used the scaling to increase readability? But got reset by the update/install.

If your screen supported multiple resolution the output would be something like this
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 16384 x 16384

Hey @djoksim1,

This will be easy to decipher. Back up the stock volumio config file with

sudo cp /boot/volumioconfig.txt /boot/volumioconfig.txt.bak

then open it with

sudo nano /boot/volumioconfig.txt

and insert one line containing exactly [all] immediately above the line [pi3], changing nothing else. Reboot and run ls -l /dev/dri/. If card0 appears with the stock file otherwise untouched, the only difference is that the two [0x…] sections above have been closed before [pi3], which is the whole theory in one line; if it does not appear, say so here, that is a result too. This is a test, not a fix: volumioconfig.txt is replaced on every update, so afterwards restore it with sudo cp /boot/volumioconfig.txt.bak /boot/volumioconfig.txt, remove the # from your userconfig.txt line again, and reboot, so your player is back on the interim measure that survives OTA.

This is what the part of the file should look like:

[pi2]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
# Pi 3A+ (0x9020e0): Before applying to [pi3], apply with lower 128MB contiguous memory setting
# Pi 3A+ has only 512MB RAM and suffers boot issues otherwise
[0x9020e0]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-128
[0x9020e1]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-128
# Release serial scope
[all]
# Continue after releasing serial scope
[pi3]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
[pi4]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
[pi5]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d

Let me know if this solves your problem or if we need to dig further.

Kind Regards,

I yend you link from my display

16

no its the same

My display is max resoulution 1024x680

17

i see the same but the resoulution on 7"display is My display is max resoulution 1024x680 i send ou the site where i buy it and his says resoulution 1024x680

disable_overscan=1

config_hdmi_boost=7
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87

Hey @djoksim1,

Please do the following and post exact result of:

cat /proc/cmdline

cat /boot/volumioconfig.txt

cat /boot/userconfig.txt

This will determine next moves.

Kind Regards,
