External USB C Monitor not working
#1
I am trying to get a Lenovo ThinkVision USB C monitor working with my pinebook pro running debian w/the manjaro 5.7 kernel.

when I plug in the monitor dmesg produces

Is there any particular firmware/module that I'm missing? I haven't been able to find anything.

Thanks in advance!

Similar problem here: I can't use an external monitor. I'm using Debian sid with a 5.7 kernel build following the instructions in kernel build script for latest mainline manjaro kernel.

if these are supported, then it probably means that the kernel driver needs to be added to the config. if you figure out what that is i will add it. i also made it easy to use your own config in the pbp-tools linux script.

In my experience in playing with various docks:

- sometimes, the PineBook only works in one single cable orientation (troubles negociating which lanes used for USB3 and which lanes used for Display Port), try flipping the USB-C connector the other side up.

- make sure that you have set up the resolution to something sufficiently low that that can be handled by only two Display Port lanes (as the other two are needed for USB3). Do no attempt to run 4kp60, it won't work.

Connect the monitor before you boot the PBP.
Worked for me with Manjaro and a 1080p monitor.
Hot plugging doesn't work for me.

When I try booting with the USB-C cable between PineBook and monitor I get less errors indeed, but still no picture. Here some of my dmesg (which may or may not be relevant - I just looked for "dp"):

Thanks everyone for the quick replies! Actually connecting the extra monitor is not that important to me right now. So far especially video performance still is so poor on the PineBook that I prefer using my 2013 AMD64 PC (8 GByte RAM), when sitting at the desk anyway. I'm mostly using the PBP for when I'm sitting in a more relaxed position.

My monitor is 2560x1440, by the way... about the highest resolution my PC would still support with its integrated Radeon HD graphics.

I am also using your script to compile the 5.6 kernel. I'm not sure what to do to get the drivers into the kernel. Here's a diff from lsusb for my lenovo monitor

Please let me know if you need anything else. I appreciate all your help!

I remember from some other thread that this might be an issue.
It's not the hardware, it's something in the software.
I have the original Samsung Chromebook Plus with the same RK3399, and I can connect it to a 4K TV.
Can you test with a 1080p monitor?

Hello all,

I'm experiencing the same issue here with a portable display. The Asus MB16AP which has an integrated battery. I cannot get the display to be recognized in display settings or display output from the PBP. The monitor is receiving a charge from the laptop.


I've tried flipping the USB-c cable and rebooting after each attempt, changing the orientation, etc as suggested above. I'm using an 18inch certified thunderbolt 3 cable. I have also tested with other more generic USB-c to USB-c cables.


My next steps are to see if the device is supported by the kernel, update/intergrate mainline if needed, and research dmesg output:
"[drm:analogix_dp_bridge_atomic_enable [analogix_dp]] *ERROR* Failed to disable psr -110"

I'm having a blast with this new PBP.



Really appreciate any input and suggestions.



Thank you.

From log, looks like this is a DisplayLink type monitor and not actual USB alt-mode DP type. The displaylink needs special driver to drive and not sure whether there is such Linux driver, and disadvantage is taking up a lot of CPU resource.
