My PinePhone running postmarketOS is now hooked up to a hub and my TV with a mouse for input. Impressed this modest device can run multiple screens and apps. @pine64 @postmarketOS

@distrowatch@mastodon.social @pine64@lemmy.ml @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems did you connected to the tv using the USB-C docking bar from the convergence package or a classic USB-C->HDMI ?

(asking because HDMI from docking bar does not work in my case... having the pinephone beta edition may be related)

I've used it with my PP + "convergence" hub, it worked, but I don't remember for sure if it was Phosh or Plasma.. It was Arch-based though, IIRC simply Arch? Otherwise Manjaro.

@vas@lemmy.ml thanks, i may have found my issue (related to HW, I have beta edition):
https://pine64.org/documentation/PinePhone/Revisions/PinePhone/_v1.2b/#known-issues
HDMI hotplug detection is not reliable due to a HW bug in level shifting circuitry for the hot plug detect (HPD) signal between HDMI bridge and A64 SoC, see megi’s blog post.
