| 13:07.23 | tzafrir | I saw the recent crowd-funding campaign. Does the laptop support using an external display? |
| 13:10.52 | arossdotme | tzafrir, i think that its the case that if you use a passthough card instead of a computer/cpu card you can use the laptop as an external display/keyboard/touchpad. |
| 13:11.42 | arossdotme | or if using it as a standalone laptop with a cpu/computer card then it depends on if the computer card has a micro hdmi or not. |
| 13:12.26 | arossdotme | search pass though on the http://rhombus-tech.net wiki |
| 13:12.44 | tzafrir | Right now there's a single card, about which I ask |
| 13:15.55 | arossdotme | mhh? |
| 13:16.48 | arossdotme | so if using laptop with a normal cpu card and if the card has a micro hdmi on its edge then you have laptop display + external display |
| 13:17.25 | tzafrir | pass-through is nice, but not what I meant. Right now there seems to be a single CPU card I can get. |
| 13:17.36 | arossdotme | yea |
| 13:17.44 | arossdotme | lukes done work on others like a mips one |
| 13:18.15 | tzafrir | So, does this card support an external display in addition to the laptop's screen? |
| 13:18.17 | arossdotme | the progress on other cards are documented on the wiki pages for those cads |
| 13:19.02 | arossdotme | the a20 card supports an externeal display via the micro hdmi connection the the edge of the card. as well as the laptops own display |
| 13:19.09 | tzafrir | Currently I assume that no, as nowhere does it mention that it is uspported. |
| 13:19.23 | arossdotme | oh right something to bug luke about :) |
| 13:19.35 | tzafrir | lkcl, ==^ |
| 13:20.26 | arossdotme | its what the cable set is for. you get a micro hdmi cable so you can use the a20 card on its own like a computer stick usb + hdmi |
| 13:21.17 | tzafrir | Yeah. But does that also apply if the card is inside a laptop or a micro-desktop? |
| 13:22.36 | arossdotme | yes you can also use the micro hdmi on the edge of the cpu card while its in the laptop :) |
| 13:23.13 | arossdotme | or micro - desktop heck any device you plug it into you will be able to get to the micro hdmi and the usb otg connections |
| 13:23.35 | arossdotme | micro - desktop = micro-desktop |
| 13:23.47 | arossdotme | *get to and use |
| 13:25.08 | tzafrir | OK. Thanks. |
| 13:25.21 | arossdotme | brill hope i was of some help :) |

| 19:12.07 | lkcl | tzafrir: welcome back, man :) arossdotme pretty much covered it. |
| 19:12.49 | lkcl | tzafrir: to answer your original question: the laptop housing doesn't support an external display, the *EOMA68-A20* supports dual display(s). |
