I've got a Pi model B running the latest Raspbian image.
It's hooked up to a Lilliput FA1012-NP/C/T which has a native res of 1024x600
I installed Kodi via apt-get.
I have the pi's config.txt set to this:
disable_overscan=1
hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 3 0 0 0
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
When I first boot to the desktop, everything looks good and sharp (everything is drawn at 1:1 size, my mouse pointer stops at exactly the edge of the monitor viewable area)
When I start Kodi, things overshoot the viewable area of the screen, so my edges aren't visible
When I exit Kodi and go back to my desktop, things are still overshooting the viewable area, and I have to reboot the Pi to get back to normal.
It would seem that Kodi changes the display mode that does not respect the disable overscan setting I set in the pi config. The system settings indicate that the video resolution is set to 1024x600, and in fact there are two different entries for 1024x600--one at the very top of the list, and then one in the middle of a list of varying resolutions from 640x480 on up to 1920x1080. The problem happens with both 1024x600 entries.
How can I stop it from doing that? I'd like it to be in the same 1:1 pixel mode as the Pi desktop is when I first boot up, and leave it in that mode upon exiting.
I've done as much searching as I can think of, and the only thing I came up with was to try overscan_scale=1 but it didn't have an effect. (Nor did commenting out disable overscan and setting all the overscan values to 0)
Any ideas? Much appreciated!
