You must enable SSH to access your host device. For instructions, see Sign in using SSH.

To kill the Weston client application, run the following commands in the device shell:
mount -o remount,rw /
ps -A | grep weston
Sample output:

To kill all Weston processes, run the following command:
systemctl stop weston.service
To change permissions of the modetest application, run the following command:
chmod 0777 /usr/bin/modetest
To view the connector IDs and modes, run the following command:
/usr/bin/modetest -M msm > /opt/drm_mode.txt
To verify DRM modes and connector information, pull the /opt/drm_mode.txt file locally on your host computer. Use the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) to pull the drm_mode.txt file from the device to your host computer. For example:
scp -r root@<IP of the device>:/opt/drm_mode.txt <directory path of the host machine>
When prompted for a password, enter oelinux123.
The output as shown in the following figure is from the /opt/drm_mode.txt file.
To fetch the connector ID and mode name, use the relevant values from the /opt/drm_mode.txt file:
modetest -M msm -s <Connector id>:<mode name>
To start the modetest application, run the following sample command using the connector ID and the mode name retrieved from the /opt/drm_mode.txt file. For example:
/usr/bin/modetest -M msm -s 32:1920x1080-60
Start the DRM test application and ignore the warning log: Failed to set gamma: Function not implemented.
To kill the modetest application, select CTRL + C.
Ensure that you Relaunch Weston.
