First of all, sorry for the not-so-technical issue I am opening here.
On multiple devices, both framework 13 and framework 16, external portable monitors requiring both power delivery and video output, all through USB-C are not working, while working on other computers, same external screen, same cable.
The only way to get the screen to work is to:
plug the external screen on a power bank to turn it on a give it power,
plug the usb cable between the laptop and the screen,
the screen is correctly recognized and I can use it! However, as soon as a unplug the power bank, it stops working even though it is still connected to the laptop.
