Dock Firmware Update Video Output Issue (16 September 2023)
So today I decided I was going to give the "Preview" firmware update channel a shot for my Steam Deck to take advantage of the newer kernel, HDR support, etc. I switched channels, applied the update, restarted, turned on HDR, everything seemed to work fine even after a restart.

Then I got a notice that there was a firmware update for my first party dock, so I applied that update and after applying that update I no longer get video output on the dock.

If I revert to the "Stable" update channel for my Steam Deck, video output using the dock works again, but when I re-apply the "Preview" channel update, video output stops. If I had to wager a guess, it probably has something to do with the graphics driver update included in the SteamOS update not jiving with the firmware update that was applied to the dock itself, because video output worked at first with the SteamOS update, it wasn't until I updated the dock firmware the issue started.

So in summary:

SteamOS Preview channel (3.5?) + Old dock firmware = Works fine
SteamOS Stable channel + New dock firmware = Works fine
SteamOS Preview channel + New dock firmware = Doesn't work

Problem is, I don't believe there's a way to roll back dock firmware, is there?

Edit: One other note I thought I would mention. It seems that the other peripherals that are part of the dock, such as wired networking are working when plugged in because I'll get notifications in desktop mode. The screen on the deck does black out as if it is outputting video, but nothing is actually appearing on the screen.

I tired enabling and disabling "Safe Mode" and now my TV (55 inch LG, 4k mini LED) is saying "Invalid format". I wonder if it's setting itself to auto detect the screen resolution or something that feature isn't working properly. I had previously manually set it to 1080p 120 hz with HDR on, which was working before I applied the update to the dock firmware.

I got it working. I have another third party USB-C dock. I connected to that long enough for me to get the "Automatically detect resolution" toggle so I could turn that back on. Then, when switching back to the official dock, I have video output again. But, it appears that when I try setting the external display to 1920x1080@120, that setting no longer functions properly even though it did prior to the dock firmware update. The screen just goes black for a few seconds and then reverts back to 4k60 since I'm not able to see and confirm the setting is working.

It's not the end of the world, but I do occasionally play Halo MCC from time to time and even the Steam Deck can crack 100fps on that game.

Since this setting worked before, it has to be something to do with either the updated graphics driver, or the dock firmware update. My desktop PC still outputs 1080p120 to this same TV just fine.

I've confirmed it's the "preview" firmware. I reverted back to the stable channel and 1080p120 output is working again with the same official dock.

Yeah, same as this and my two month post, as you can read here https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/3/5992658048667193088/. Still waiting for Valve for a VRR firmware fix, but the HDMI problem is caused by the new Linux 6.1 kernel.

Which is weird because my living room desktop PC runs Debian with 6.1 and has no issues with 1080p120 output. Must be something specific to the modifications Valve makes to the kernel.

I'm in the same boat. I tried preview 3.5 on my Steam Deck, noticed a new firmware for the Deck dock (0.13.15.120). I have two 28" 2160p monitors connected to the dock for desktop mode. After plugging and unplugging display cables and power cables back and forth and left and right combined with a reboot here and there I could eventually get just one monitor working at a time, the one connected via HDMI did only work at 30 Hz while the DP one still output 2160p at 60 Hz as usual.
Reverting back to SteamOS 3.4.10 solves all issues for me, even with the new Deck dock firmware.

I am also having the same issue. Hope they can iron this one out before beta.

Today, I had a problem with my steam deck. It doesn't connect to hdmi my dock and many days before, I could connect to other monitor to hdmi. Any solution? Or it is a problem with the newest update like past week when the sd card issue?

The dock sometimes doesn't work for some odd reason. I snagged a dmesg. Can Valve allow us to attach text files to the forum? I wonder if I should contact steam support to provide samples


Reboot fixes the issue for me

So stable 3.5.5 finally hit,
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/5484882897552407488
Steam Deck Dock Firmware 121
Added VRR support.
Improves reliability when changing display modes via on-screen menus
Fixed issues with 6bpc color modes, improving high resolution/refresh mode support
Improves detection of HDMI cable hot-plug events

I have been trying to avoid upgrading Dock firmware this whole time. Its still at 0.13.15.108. Anyone test if it still has same bug? Because the 0.13.15.120 update broke my dock not only in steamOS but also when trying to use Batocera.linux. Tested it with HDMI on 1 gaming display and Samsung TV, didnt work with either one.

The problem with the dock is that we are not running the same setup as Valve. They test the dock on their devices and it works. When they release it, some other TV doesn't work.

HDMI 2.1 is broken on Linux due to legal issues with the HDMI committees aka HDMI love their DRM.
Hey, same here after updating to 3.5.5 and to the latest Valves' dock firmware today. After reboot no HDMI signal anymore and TV not recognised on desktop mode neither. Multiple reboots and this persisted even with another HDMI câble then i powered off the deck, unplugged it from the dock, powered it back again and only plugged back the cable once logged on my account. This worked.. Just wanted to share that in case this may hello anyone in the same situation.

I now have a very similar issue to my old one (see earlier in the thread) with 3.5.5, Dock firmware 121. I can get it to either show my monitor connected via DisplayPort or my other monitor via HDMI, but having both connected at the same time results in the Dock not outputting anything on either (the Display settings dialog in Desktop mode still detects both monitors though). No amount of cable plugging/unplugging helps.

3.5.7 stable and I still can't use two monitors at the same time with the Dock. Tried "resetting" the dock and switched all my cables back and forth. Anyone else having the same issue?
