Question: sharing the virtual screen over via USB #438
Comments
I think this project only allows you to create virtual displays on the machine the kernel module is installed. Does your phone have the evdi module loaded? You may have better luck buying a usb c to hdmi/usb adapter and hope that it works. |
I see, okay, thank you! |
Regarding adb — it requires to enable USB-debugging, but I can't do that due to broken screen. I guess I'll have to buy an adapter. |
From the documentation I can't quite get that, so before I'm gonna spend days digging into the code, I'd like to ask if such usecase is covered.
My usecase: I have a turned off phone with a broken display that I want to access for backup purposes. On my Linux desktop I want to create a virtual screen and then connect the phone USB-to-USB and make phone recognize my virtual screen as an external monitor. (note: I can't enable USB-debugging or anything, so e.g. tools like
scrcpy
won't work, it has to be something that Just Works™ as far as the phone side concerned)Is it possible with EVDI? Mentioning basic steps would be appreciated though.
P.S.: sorry for asking on a bugtracker, but the project doesn't seem to have a matrix/IRC/mailing list…
