Changing HDMI Output Screen Resolution

It is possible to change the resolution to 720p (and possibly others), but there is no user friendly way of doing so. First you will need to set the Organelle filesystem in read/write mode. Open a terminal and run:

mount -o remount,rw /

Then edit the file /boot/uEnv.txt and change this segment:

video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32

to this

video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1280x720M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=32

Use caution editing /boot/uEnv.txt, if it gets messed up the machine will not boot, so it is probably a good idea to make a copy before editing.
