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.

Enable SSH in `//<your-devices-ipaddress>/dev`

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`  
`DSI-1 connected primary 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm panning 1280x800+0+0`

Hey @djoksim1,

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

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

```

then open it with

```auto
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:

```auto
[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,

Hey @djoksim1,

Please do the following and post exact result of:

```auto
cat /proc/cmdline

```

```auto
cat /boot/volumioconfig.txt

```

```auto
cat /boot/userconfig.txt

```

This will determine next moves.

Kind Regards,
