The values of ntx_hwconfig match. The problem seems more complicated than expected.
I went to search in the configuration files, but nothing seemed wrong.

That agrees with my Glo HD. But, I don't know where it gets the resolution from. I don't know if it is querying the screen some how or if it is burnt in somewhere else. If it is the latter, it could be that the wrong screen is in the device. The only time I seen something like that was for someone who replaced a screen and got the wrong one. And that makes me wonder about the history of the device. And this problem.

If you want to try something, you could edit the file "/etc/bin/kobo_config.sh". This has the following line:

Code:
	E60Q9*) [ "$RES" == "800x600" ] && echo pika || echo alyssum;;
"pika" is the Touch 2 and "alyssum" is the Glo HD. Changing that to "pika" in both places might get it booting to use the screen as 800x600. But, I don't know if everything respects that setting. It is used in parts of the booting and factory reset, but, the screen size might be checked by nickel directly when it starts. If it works, it works. At the worst, you might have to do a factory reset.
