@MrClayPole We do https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/ubuntu-touch-24-04-1-0-release-3973 will give you all the information.

@Lakotaubp, so it looks like there is a stable channel already. Thanks for the link.
Does anyone know if the dual monitor dock works with the Fairphone 5 or any other device?

@MrClayPole said in Dual external monitor:
Are dual external monitors supported?
All I can say is FP5 under android support wired external display with display port over USB-C, which FP6 is not capable of.
And at least its device page says it supports one external wired display under Ubuntu Touch.

yes but it may not support all the good stuff, see for example:

@gpatel-fr
This issue is for Fairphone 4.
Also, not everyone is in urge having VoLTE working, specially concerning Fairphones devices as the VoLTE issue concerns mostly USA where Fairphones are not sold directly (only from murena and at slightly higher price thanks to the orange agent tariffs). -
You'll have to look up if the hardware of FP5 supports it. Honestly, I doubt any phone supports dual external display

@kugiigi thanks, I thought it was as long as you had DisplayLink, then it was down to the software. Looks like I was wrong, and it does look like it's hardware limit-based on my searches.

@MrClayPole At least for me, all three displays connected to my dock can show a cloned desktop. At least when I boot with already connected dock. But dedicated deskops on multiple monitors are not possible.
I got the best experience, with only one display connected to the dock.

@MrClayPole Oh DisplayLink? Yeah no, that definitely won't work in UT. That is a proprietary tech that needs a software or app or something. It's actually a nice tech because the device doesn't need to support display out but it needs the app on Android.

@MrClayPole no Lomiri does not like more then one monitor.
didn't stop me from trying, it made for a cursed mirror setup where on screen is having a stroke and the other was perfectly fine.
