I recently got a Waveshare 7" LCD (H) with 3B+, running Raspbian updated to buster (uname -a says Linux rpi33 4.19.42-v7+ #1219 SMP Tue May 14 21:20:58 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux)
I set config.txt according to Waveshare's manual for the product to
max_usb_current=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
config_hdmi_boost=7
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt=1024 600 60 6 0 0 0
# these are testing extras without effect
hdmi_drive=1
hdmi_force_mode=1
and yet, I can't seem to run the display at full resolution; the resolution is lower and there is dark frame around the picture (which makes the touchscreen off, but that is expected).
The extra mode is not listed in /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -m CEA (or -m DMT), /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s is reporting
state 0x12000a [HDMI CEA (17) RGB lim 4:3], 720x576 @ 50.00Hz, progressive
and xrandr -q reports
Screen 0: minimum 656 x 512, current 656 x 512, maximum 656 x 512
EDID from the display (tvservice -d edid.dat; edidparser edid.dat) says

Is this fixable without much sorcery? Thanks!
