Using Real Vnc PIXEL Raspberry PI ( screen resolution)

 I have installed a new OS (PIXEL)  on my Raspberry PI (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/introducing-pixel/)

It comes pre-installed with Real vnc server . You have to enable it and update your raspberry
with
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade




 So on my window machine I  just download vnc viewer (https://www.realvnc.com/download/viewer/).


start vnc viewer
give ip adress of raspberry
fill username and password

and You can get it connected.


Screen resolution  becomes a problem  sometimes

crontab is a scheduler for pi which can be used to correct it


In terminal type

crontab -e


add the this line at the end of scheduled task for 1920 x 1080 resolution 


@reboot /bin/fbset -g 1920 1080 1920 1080 16





and save the file and reboot


enjoy
