Hi all
I am using a Avermedia Live Gamer Extreme 1080p capture card to record videos of my X5000 and Tabor..
The capture card has HDMI In and HDMI out, so if it is acting like another monitor.
I succesfully recorded a video of my X5000 running on AmigaOS4 with FullHD resolution
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MFUVQa ... e=youtu.be
However when I run Linux on X5K (I have Debian 9-32 Bit and Ubuntu 16.04 installed on 2 partitions), the system always opens a 1280x720 screen
and it is not possible to change any screenmodes.
I have a Radeon R7 265.
What may be the problem ?

This worked for me with Mintppc, and still works on ubuntu 16.04 x86.
Open a terminal.
Notice the -q option shows the DVI-0 output is the one being used. Your mileage may vary.
Try to choose a mode with a scanrate your monitor can handle. There are other ways.

Re: External Video Capture Card and Screen Resolution on Lin
Here is the output
root@Amigaone:/home/amigaone# xrandr -q
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1280 x 720, current 1280 x 720, maximum 1280 x 720
default connected 1280x720+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1280x720 0.00*
Since I have a RadeonSI I have to use fbdev driver.
Maybe fbdev driver fails to recognize external capture cards as 1920x1080 ?

I do not have access to my X1k.
If you are using the frame buffer you probably want to investigate the fbset command and look into /etc/default/grub.
Perhaps one of the ppc linux people can help you better. Sorry.
