Hi Rob, Many thanks for the help. Adding the Xorg got the LCD screen up and running. I do have a couple of question that you may be able to answer?? Firstly, when the BBB initially loads it goes to the user logon screen which seems to be incorrectly scaled - do you know if there is a way to correct scaling?

Is this a problem with Chromium on the BBB - should I be using a different browser or are there some Xorg settings I can change to improve things?? If I monitor the dashboard through my PCs webbrowser via HTTP connection it is buttery smooth *with the BBB acting as the web server) Many thanks for any help you can offer Cheers Michael On Friday, 2 February 2018 15:34:48 UTC, RobertCNelson wrote: > > On Fri, Feb 2, 2018 at 9:32 AM, Robert Nelson <robert...@gmail.com > <javascript:>> wrote: > > On Fri, Feb 2, 2018 at 9:12 AM, Michael Dalby <mikey...@gmail.com > <javascript:>> wrote: > >> Hi All > >> > >> I hope someone can help ? > >> > >> I am running a Debian IoT (non GUI) image on my BBB.
