General discussion • How to force console output res at 480x320 on RPI5

I recently replaced my PI3A+ with a PI5 (Home Assistant with HAOS) and I am struggling to find the right settings for having the HAOS console output at 480x320 resolution on my HDMI Kedei 3.5inch display connected to RPI

With previous PI3A+ I simply had in \mnt\boot\config.txt the following lines (and it was working):
framebuffer_width=480
framebuffer_height=320

On my RPI5 I also added the following lines:
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt=480 320 60 6 0 0 0

But still the video output (console) is at FullHD resolution (it's too small to read on Kedei 3.5inch)

It seems that on RPI5 (HAOS) these command doesn’t work/are ignored…

Is there some other commands to set the console output resolution at 480x320?

Thanks
