      Usually the OS in the background should autodetect the resolution of the TFT.
      If not and you are already autostarted the MM system, try to

      pm2 stop
      

      via SSH
      and try to change the resolution manually on the running Linux.
      (Maybe you can add temporarily a mouse to the pi or log in remotely via VNC)
      VNC can be enabled via SSH within the console (sudo raspi-config)

          From the official Raspberry site:
          Video mode

          Custom mode
          
          If your monitor requires a mode that is not in one of the tables above, then it's possible to define a custom CVT mode for it instead:
          
          ***please note, need to ad a blank space before the bracket, in order to display it here correctly***
          hdmi_cvt=< width> < height> < framerate> < aspect> < margins> < interlace> < rb>
          
          Value 	Default 	Description
          width 	(required) 	width in pixels
          height 	(required) 	height in pixels
          framerate 	(required) 	framerate in Hz
          aspect 	3 	aspect ratio 1=4:3, 2=14:9, 3=16:9, 4=5:4, 5=16:10, 6=15:9
          margins 	0 	0=margins disabled, 1=margins enabled
          interlace 	0 	0=progressive, 1=interlaced
          rb 	0 	0=normal, 1=reduced blanking
          
          Fields at the end can be omitted to use the default values.
          
          Note that this simply creates the mode (group 2 mode 87). In order to make the Pi use this by default, you must add some additional settings. For example, the following selects an 800 × 480 resolution and enables audio drive:
          
          hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6
          hdmi_group=2
          hdmi_mode=87
          hdmi_drive=2
          
          This may not work if your monitor does not support standard CVT timings.
