Do I understand correctly Miracast is not supported by GOS?

mmobder It's hard to trust google's closed-source non-configurable device (Chromecast) to handle privacy.

I don't disagree entirely... but if Samsung's Miracast code is closed and the code for Miracast display devices is also closed, is it easier to trust that ecosystem?

de0u Miracast protocol itself is open to the public https://www.wi-fi.org/file/miracast-specification (certification by WiFi alliance is not mandatory).
It's kinda expected that Samsung's implementation of their sender is proprietary. Implementation of MS receiver/dongle is irrelevant at all.

The fact that the Miracast receiver device doesn't require to be connected even to WiFi (CC can't work without WiFi) not speaking of internet, makes it insecure just on the level of protocol and can be examined.

No chance Miracast dongle will phone home) if not connected to wi-fi.

And Chromecast is kinda on the opposite pole of that state.

Canardo_Sanchez for some reason the output has a resolution so low you can't even read text on screen.

This is not the case for the majority of people that have used display port alternative mode on Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 series phones. I use it regularly and it works fine for me.

There is a problem with your setup. Make sure you have a good cable. Could also be an issue with the display or even usb port on phone.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't know what happened but I have since then switched to USBc > HDMI on my projector and everything works as expected here, contrary to USBc > displayport on my monitor, which I don't care much about anyway.

I wished we could cast different aspect ratios to fill the whole space in landscape mode, but it's beyond GrapheneOS scope and other than that it is indeed 100% functional.

Its possible to do this with experimental desktop mode in Developer options.

is having multiple Monitors on GOS supported?

hnn8 The kernel does by definition. As for the other layers, I don't know. Maybe somebody with a new enough phone can give it a try?
