Using this https://www.olimex.com/wiki/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO#How_to_change_HDMI.2C_VGA_and_LCD_resolutions_in_the_official_Debian_image.3F tutorial to try change screen resolution to 1980x1020
Running this command (as root): change_display* (* = press 'tab') I get this: -su syntax error near unexpected token `*'
edit a bit later: just tried to SSH into the board and using change_display.sh gives me this:
+ retv=0
++ cat /tmp/dialog_1_3219
+ choice=HDMI
+ '[' 0 -eq 1 -o 0 -eq 255 ']'
+ read_script
+ '[' -z /boot ']'
+ /usr/bin/bin2fex /boot/script.bin
fexc-bin: /boot/script.bin: version: 53924.1.2
fexc-bin: /boot/script.bin: size: 53924 (92 sections)
E: fexc-bin: Malformed data: version 53924.1.2.
..so still can't change screen resolution to 1920x1080..
HowTo?
You typed a *
You need to press Tab (instead)

Haha, silly me. Thx JohnS just did that - and it brought me to the change_display.sh which gave me the output above when selecting HDMI and hitting OK
I've spent the whole day trying to find out how to change screen resolution via the wiki tut above, but I had to give up.
Then I tried to get bin2fex and fex2bin working on windows by using the 2 .bat files, but this also did not work.
Googled the whole afternoon and - lo and behold - suddenly fell over a French forum and an old post from 2013 from this guy: http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/132727-dev-aller-plus-loin-avec-sa-tablette-mpman/?do=findComment&comment=2146017 - tried his commands and - bingo - it worked.
After transferring the modified .bin file with my settings (3 for type and 10 for 1080p60) to the SD card root (replacing the script.bin file) - I booted up the A20 - and, voila, the desktop sprung to life as a newborn 1920x1080 resolution ;)
