I also have tried a variety of monitors, TVs & cables. I got it to work HDMI > HDMI on a Dell S2740L. But it doesn't work on my older Dell 1920 monitor or a 2560 Dell Ultrasharp, or on my Samsung HDTV. Have tried 3 Linux variants.
I get the impression that whoever is developing the kernel drivers is doing it on a very limited set of hardware & hasn't even thought about supporting a sensible range of monitors.
If some Linux guru was able to write some scripts that would update the display drivers for a few common OS variants we'd be leagues ahead of where we are now.
My Pine is sitting on my desk doing nothing now, useless until I can find a cheap monitor that I know I can actually use it with. The only reason I know it was actually booting up is by connecting a USB serial cable.
I don't mind tweaking to get the thing going, that's why I bought it, but when you can't even get it to run a monitor it makes you wonder why you even bothered.
