+# This is just an example script to show how to resize the screen before
+# running am7xxx-play, this can be called also from a udev script.
+#
+# Resizing the screen may be needed if the am7xxx device has problems
+# displaying a certain resolution.
+#
+# For example on some devices the firmware fails to display images of
+# resolution 800x469 resulting from scaled down 1024x600 screens, in
+# cases like this, resizing the screen can be a viable workaround.
