      Hi,

      I am using magic mirror on RPI3. But i need to set up resolution 1024*600 becuse i am using tft display with that resolution. How can i change resolution to this?

        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.
