Updated the testing release. Improvements:
- Reworked HDMI screen blanking on Pi4/5. Now uses KMS blanking as
vcgencmd display_poweris no longer available. - Amount of space reserved on an SD card now uses 10% of available space up to 512MB. This helps with smaller SD cards (in case you still have 1GB cards around
) - Added a way to transparently flip either one or both screens on Pi4/Pi5 devices with zero performance overhead. This helps with dual display setups if both displays are physically rotated differently. You can now also use the same setup on devices with different orientation. Flipping is by 180 degree only. Right now there is no way to easily configure this option on the dashboard. Stay tuned (or get in contact if you want to use this right now). EDIT: It’s actually possible to split this feature into horizontal and vertical flipping. So if you have a rear projector, the output can soon be flipped horizontally only. Stay tuned.
- Pi4/5 video decoder now properly handles single frame videos.
- Assigned video modes are now tested to ensure they work on the connected display. If not, the resolution is first reduced to 1920x1080 and finally to 640x480, so there is always at least some output.
