Setting Custom Resolution on Raspberry Pi to Fit 1:1 Display

Question

I have a Raspberry Pi connected to a 480x480 circular touch screen. I have edited the config.txt to reflect the new resolution I want to run. Unfortunately the resolution is only displayed correctly using VNC on the display itself it is weirdly offset and not at all in a 1:1 Aspect ratio.

Touch works like a charm. I already searched Google for how to set the aspect ratio correctly etc. Any ideas what I could try?

config.txt:

I ended up contacting the AliExpress Seller who contacted the manufacturer. They sent me this config with custom HDMI timings. There is also a commented line for 720x720px

Now it works

Try:

hdmi_cvt=480 480 59

Similar configuration works fine for my 720x720 screen
