Dual screen not mirrored?

[EricaLina]

Does anyone have any clues to give as to setting up dual screen on the Nanopi m6?

 

I searched the forum and found nothing. I don't know why I can never easily find

Anything here. The forum shows one post for the Nanopi m6 and I know that can't be right.

 

The Nanopi mirrors by default, and that is just not going cut it.  

 

Currently installing X on a minimal install.

But that's the next thing. Get a reasonablf sized terminal up.

What do you mean by that? You mean LCD screen on the device and HDMI monitor. This should probably work OOB on vendor 6.1.y kernel. It should also work with mainline, but I haven't tested that and I am not sure that this is included in latest stable build as it was added not long ago. Try build from sources, use EDGE kernel perhaps.

It is very specific case - probably nobody asked for that before. At least I don't recall.

Core features are based on SoC, so when you are looking for clues, look wider - Orange 5 *, Khadas Edge 2, Bananapi M7, ... all that carries RK3588 SoC.

Best is to start with recommended Gnome image. That is most polished.
