Pinebookers,
I ordered my PBP in late 2019 and have enjoyed it since. I call him bob. I don't use bob daily for work but use often. Bob has traveled to 5 countries so far with me. Now I want to do something I've never gotten to work. Hook to an external display. I would really like to play videos on a bigger screen.
I've seen a couple other posts but all are from 3 years ago or so. I just thought there might some newer thoughts. For hardware I've tried with a USB-C to HDMI adapter I had around and I also bought the Pinebook Pro Docking Station (PBP-DOCK11) years ago and had no luck with it either.
I played with a couple Linux dists when I first got it but decided to stick with Manjaro. I've applied all the updates.
[thorson@bob ~]$ uname -a
Linux bob 6.7.9-1-MANJARO-ARM #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Mar 9 21:00:40 UTC 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux
[thorson@bob ~]$
The special keys have never been correct.
Fn F1-F2 and F4-F8 work
Fn F3 seems to only produce the letter "p"
Fn F9-F12 are mapped wrong but I figured out years ago how to get by.
It's Fn+F3 that I think I need. I can find no description on what it's supposed to do but the picture looks like the laptop with another screen behind. That's probably what I need fixed somehow.
Any idea out there?
Bill
