      Hi.

      I installed retropie on a PI 2 model B v1.1.
      So far it was used on a pc screen with an HDMI to VGA adapter.

      Some time ago I bought a 5 inch 800 x 480 LCD screen for it.
      To install the driver, I had to execute a file called "LCD5-show". It worked perfectly.

      But after that, when I plug back the PC screen, the resolution is not the same than it was before (lower quality).

      In the /boot/config.txt file is framebuffer_width=1280 and framebuffer_height=720.
      Question 1: Is this the resolution?
      So far I did not dare to change anything in this file.

      Question 2: Is there a way to load the "main driver" that retropie used before I installed the 5 inch LCD?

      Thanks :-)
