The wiki says to compile a new kernel and only lists 3.4.y but it's running on 4.4.49-s5p6818 from
s5p6818-friendly-core-xenial-4.4-arm64-20180209.img

The screen resolution needed is 800x480 and I originally booted with a LCD that failed.

From Xorg.o.log:-
9.856] Kernel command line: console=ttySAC0,115200n8 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait init=/sbin/init loglevel=7 printk.time=1 consoleblank=0 lcd=HDMI720P60 bootdev=2

Does this mean I have to reinstall in order to have 800x480 resolution?

I tried s5p6818-friendly-core-xenial-4.4-arm64-20180228.img but Xorg ends up as a zombie task.
Went back to the original microSD card with s5p6818-friendly-core-xenial-4.4-arm64-20180209.img installed.

Still getting a white screen with Xorg up and running.
Over an ssh login "init 3" followed by "init 5", login screen came up and logged in as root to a mate desktop.
May be a race condition when booting straight into X?

Loging in as fa and pi tried first - refused.

Screen resolution is OK but Xorg.0.log shows the same as before. Possibly it's not a 800x480 7 inch screen i ordered but got a 1280x720 instead.

Hie.. is anyone got success for changing resolution from 1280x760 to 800x480...???
please give some suggestion...... how to achieve 800x480 resolution on HDMI screen

If the HDMI display you are using has native resolution of 800x480 and has the EDID connection with the details, it should automatically adjust itself.

You also don't state which OS you are using? The HDMI settings should also be in the Wiki.

I changed the default setting to 800x480@60Hz but got no output.

The 10.1 inch LCD supports 1920x1080 and that worked straight away as does touch.
