In any case, display output works, and enabling it is as simple as running a shell command (after rooting the device):
If the hardware actually has this capability, why lock it behind root, which practically disable display output feature for almost all users?
Probably because it is not yet completely stable or complete.
I really hope this will let my AR glasses work. I was bummed they didn't work with my Pixel 6 Pro, and half the reason I went for an 8 Pro were the initial display out support news from July.
When this workaround was reported to not work, I was pretty bummed, but this seems like a good sign. I'll be building my own ROM anyway, so I can easily set this property enabled by default with no need for root.

Not sure what you mean. I'm not trying to use an external monitor, I just want to use AR glasses I already own. There's no adapter for that, it's just a USB C cable.

I hope to enable this by android 15 at least or earlier.
Plans are to activate it by U qpr2.
