Display Options
- D1 Underscan – this applies overscan compensation which enlarges the display to fill more of the screen [Only available if using X11].
- D2 Screen Blanking – enable/disable screen blanking. Enabling this option will turn off the display(s) after 10 minutes of inactivity. There’s no ability to change this time out period in raspi-config. Instead, you can use the xset utility to configure the period. For example, if you want to blank the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity, issue the command
xset s 300although this setting won’t survive a reboot. - D3 VNC Resolution – set the display resolution that your VNC server outputs: Choose between 640×480, 720×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1280×720, 1280×1024, 1600×1200, or 1920×1080.
- D4 Composite – enable composite video output. This disables the HDMI outputs.
