@amosbatto @purism I'm pretty sure now that we can drive 4K UHD with the #Librem5:

@twrightsman yes, but there's lots of details to sort out. My #Debconf20 talk gives a status and what's left to do: http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2020/DebConf20/13-my-phone-runs-debian-and-it-does-phone-calls.webm .

Switched to #PureOS #Byzantium (plus some hacks until i have all pakages uploaded) on my #Librem5 #Dogwood. That's way closer #Debian #Bullseye and it already works quite well:

#phosh 0.4.4 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.4.4

Besides lots of new translations and i18n improvements this release switches to libhandy 1.0 and makes the wwan signal strength indicator work for #ofono too (contributed by &t). We also expanded the developer docs (https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/phosh/docs) and @zbrown made some internal cleanups.

@pamaca @purism it needs to do dp-alt-mode over usb-c. I expect there to be a recommended list of hubs/adapters at some point since there's lots of variance (number of supported lane pairs, usb 3.0 or not, ...) - it also depends on the screen you want to connect.

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):

@amosbatto @purism my data sheet says @60Hz so looking forward to try that on a suitable screen.

@amosbatto @purism with an adapter that can use all 4 DP lane pairs we should be able to get up to 4k@60Hz , the 'regular' hubs only uses 2 lane pairs (4k@30Hz) - but my screens have way lower resoluiton so that's not tested yet.

@Phaserune @purism I need somebody holding the camera, then i can operate keybod and mouse.

@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):

@lord @purism The blue cable on the picture goes into the wall wart and if that supplies enough power (and wall wart, hub and phone agree on USB PD contracts) it'll also charge the phone. That's one of the tricky parts we're currenlty working on.

@kyle @purism It tiles left/right via keyboard shortcuts, the rest is yet to come.

@purism And here's the #librem5 connected to a usb-c hub that has a keyboard/mouse connected via usb and driving the external screen via dp-alt-mode. Needs some hacks still but we're getting there:
