Galaxy book3: hdmi output not detected on Linux

Hi!
I have a brand new Galaxy Book3 in which I installed Ubuntu 23.04 (I've been using linux for a long time now). When I connect my notebook to an external monitor, through the HDMI port, the monitor is not shown as a display option.
Using the same HDMI cable with an HDMI -> USB-C adapter, I can use the external monitor without problems.
I've seen a post on Ask Ubuntu (unfortunately, I could not link it here) that describes the same situation, but with a different vendor. Apparently, the fix would be possible with a BIOS update, correcting some bug that prevents linux from detecting the HDMI port (I've also tested with Fedora 38, on a flash drive, and the result was the same).
Is there any chance of a firmware update coming soon from Samsung that would solve this problem I'm having?
Best regards

Hello, everyone!
In case anyone comes here searching for this: the HDMI output works out of the box in Ubuntu 24.04.
No extra configuration needed 🙂
Best regards!

Hi, @gabe80million
I didn't know that Samsung was not part of the LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service) before posting my question here. My previous notebook was a Lenovo and I never had to worry about BIOS updates before (there is an open source daemon - fwupd - that handles firmware upgrades in Linux based systems... provided that the vendor makes it available through LVFS).
Well... I guess my best chance is getting Windows 11 back and keep it on a partition just for BIOS updates. It is a shame, though...
Thanks for the response, anyway 🙂

Hi, @ale99viv
The short answer is no, I didn't.
I've installed Windows 11 back and updated everything (which included at least one Bios firmware update), but it did not solve this problem I'm experiencing with Ubuntu (which is now in a dual boot installation).
Sorry for the bad news...
If you find something, please, share it here.
Best regards

Hola, hace un tiempo tenia el mismo problema y por eso termine aqui, pero hoy he conectado el HDMI al monitor y ha funcionado de maravilla. No se si se debe a que han/he puesto alguna actualizacion o algo por el estilo, pero pueden intentar hoy dia a ver si les funciona (yo no he hecho nada en concreto). Mucha Suerte 🙂
