Less hacks when driving an external screen with the #Librem5: you can see how the monitor picks up the video signal when the yellow led on the external screen turns to blue and the external mouse is detected when the cursor appears on #phosh's lock screen in the upper left corner (and yes, i need better video equipment):
@purism …and here's a quick Quake II demo using the #librem5 docked via usb-c (audio is from L5's built in speaker) - might be a bit more exciting than running #libreoffice (which also works):
Slides from my #debconf20 talk 'My phone runs Debian - and it does phone calls!' (https://debconf20.debconf.org/talks/13-my-phone-runs-debian-and-it-does-phone-calls/) are at https://git.sigxcpu.org/cgit/talks/2020-debconf-mobile/plain/talk.pdf
There's links at the end to the projects / talks i've mentioned.
The #Librem5's LCD panel driver just got applied to drm-misc-next: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20200818170556.GA2291850@ravnborg.org/ so the #DSI side of the display stack is mostly in place now 😓
Should you ever need a DisplayPort reference for NXPs imx8mq: here's a hardware mod for the #Librem5 Devkit to switch it from #HDMI to #DisplayPort: https://source.puri.sm/guido.gunther/imx8mq-hdmi2dp (based on schematic by Bernhard Fink in NXPs forums).
#phosh 0.4.3 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.4.3
This release contains the shell side of volume (and other media) button support by @devrtz and notifications timestamps (by Lugsole) - so you know *when* you missed a call. i18n improved too.
Import VCard contatcs into gnome-contacts until it can do that by itself (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-contacts/-/merge_requests/105):
```
syncevolution --import ~purism/Downloads/foo.vcf backend=evolution-contacts database=Personal
```
LED notifications coming to #calls and other parts of the stack via #feedbackd:
I've tagged #calls 0.1.7
https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/calls/-/tags/v0.1.7
featuring contact name lookup in the call display window by @devrtz
#phosh 0.4.0 is out 🚀 :
https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/tags/v0.4.0

#phosh 0.3.1 is out: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/tags/v0.3.1
media-player widget, more haptic feedback, bug fixes, connectivity state indicator, development documentation usable via #devhelp, more i18n. Thanks everyone who contributed to this release!
Our car radio does not do #bluetooth so after fixing up headphone detection in device tree and finishing #phosh's mpris MediaPlayer2 interface i can now feed sound via a 3.5mm audio cable from my l5 to the car radio via #mpd and #mpDris2 . Will show up on a #librem5 near you soon.
Notifications have landed in #calls 0.1.6: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/calls/-/releases/v0.1.6
and it has more gems.
Balance top up of my prepaid sim card using #ppm (https://honk.sigxcpu.org/piki/projects/ppm/) on my laptop. Can happen on the #Librem5 once we have https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/merge_requests/270 downstream.
#phosh 0.3.0 is out: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/tags/v0.3.0
Notifications can be persistent now thanks to zbrown, screen blanking/locking and haptic feedback are improved as is #i18n.
