Works fine for direct cable connection.
Does not work for me via USB-C dock.
I purchased about 8 different “USB-C Hub” with DP (no cheap crap)
to try and get Librem5 connected.
Fine & flawless: Charging, Trackball, Keyboard, Ethernet. They always work with Librem5.
Display dark. Monitor-Display worked in 0 cases.
Not even a flicker.
- via DP Displayport from Librem5-USB-C to dock to monitor: dark
- via HDMI from Librem5-USB-C to dock to monitor: dark
Any combination dark.
Even worse:
The Librem5 recognizes the display size of the dark but connected monitor and switches to multi-monitor mode!
So mousepointer and windows disappear on a not operational Monitor-Display.
With several different Laptop brands ALL of these combinations worked fine.
The Librem5-USB-C to (NEC-)Monitor-Displayport direct connection works fine. So Librem5 and (NEC-)Monitor understand each other well.
The Monitor understands all frequencies “spoken”.

Of course Librem5-Display itself is not disappointing.
It’s working fine all the time.
Not providing proper video signals to Monitor Display is disappointing.
Since ALL Laptops-to-docks-to monitor combinations via USB-C work fine
and
ONLY the Librem5 fails
I am disappointed and have a question:
What do I need to do
to get Librem5-to-dock-to monitor
working?
