Getting the dock to work.

wove · 12-26-2020, 10:08 AM

I ordered a dock for the Pinebook Pro and it arrived about a week ago and I just got around to trying it out. The only laptop dock I have ever used is for a Thinkpad. A Thinkpad dock requires no power to operate, although it can be powered if desired.

I have plugged the dock into the Pinebook Pro, but I get no HDMI output. I have booted from the latest Manjaro KDE image. The USB ports work when plugged in. Ethernet seems to work. The HDMI does not work, nor does the VGA work.

Does the Pinebook Pro dock need to have power connected to work? I do not have anything with USB C besides the Pinebook Pro, so I have no way to check out if lack of external power is the problem.

Thanks
bill
