I am running Stretch on a Raspberry Pi 3 and have been trying to change my screen resolution (connected to some Samsung touchscreen via HDMI) via

sudo raspi-config

the menu loads properly and I can change the settings except when I try to change screen resolution at which point the whole OS stops working. Any ideas?

edit:

it doesn't allow me to go into the menu which shows the options of what resolution to choose.

edit2:

Its not that I want to change it to a particular resolution, its that if I try to open that menu in raspi-config, the whole OS crashes and I have to restart the Pi

I know this is an older question now, but I was having this exact same issue with my Raspberry Pi 3 B+.

I found out that the issue for me was caused by having GL Driver set to "Full KMS".

Once I set it to "Fake KMS" I stopped having freezing problems.

  1. In terminal type "sudo raspi-config"
  2. Go to "Advanced Options"
  3. Go to "GL Driver"
  4. Select "G2 GL (Fake KMS)"
  5. Reboot Pi

I hope this helps someone else with the same issue.
