I have a Raspberry Pi 2 and a LCD

I have no problem with LCD but i want to switch HDMI for video output . i tried to add these line to config.txt :

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_drive=2
display_default_lcd=0

but i can't use HDMI even by those codes

anyone have idea? i used raspberry pi about two years ago and i can't remember how to fix this

  • Are you using NOOBS? – joan Feb 07 '16 at 22:32
  • Are you editing the /boot/config.txt file? If so, it should work with only the following changes: hdmi_force_hotplug=1 use HDMI mode even if no HDMI monitor is detected
    hdmi_drive=2 set to normal HDMI mode (with sound if supported and enabled) If your HDMI monitor doesn't support sound, try setting hdmi_drive=1 since it's possible that the RPi's protocol communications over HDMI with your monitor are determining that sound is not supported and the RPi is disabling the HDMI output.     – BartmanEH Feb 07 '16 at 21:50
  • You didn't specify exactly which file you were editing. Are you editing /boot/config.txt ? I'll edit my answer to provide more suggestions. – BartmanEH Feb 07 '16 at 21:56

    NOOBS is a bit funny (I don't use it). Check its documentation for how to edit the correct config.txt. I believe you have to hold the shift key down during boot to get the recovery screen. There should be an option to edit the correct config.txt from that screen. – joan Feb 08 '16 at 10:21

Try playing with con2fbmap 1 1 or (play with 0 and 1 ones for console.

For starting X, if you used config with multiple layouts e.g. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/fbtft.conf (like http://pastebin.com/3wdEU9hw ), you can use sth like startx -- -layout hdmi.
