External monitor on PBP Docking Deck
#1
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
