M8P-CB1 trying to add BTT HDMI5

Hey all
I have an M8P v1.1 with a CB1
I have klipper running along with an EBB36 it’s a fully functional printer. I used Kiauh to install everything. I’ve decided i wanted to add a touchscreen. So figuring I’d stay with BTT I went and got the HDMI5.

I went to install Klipperscreen saw Kiauh was the easiest way. So I ssh in and saw it was already installed. I pulled the sd card and edited the txt file to change to hdmi. Put back into m8p. Fired up printer. Added Klipperscreen to moonracker, added the trusted cert in as well. Rebooted everything. Still just a blank/black screen. I plugged the hdmi into port 1 and 0 no luck. I plugged the usbc into m8p usb and walkout no luck.
I then plugged hdmi into my Mac. With usbc into Mac as well. And it worked can view my Mac screen on the hdmi5. So I know the screen isn’t broken.

Then i figured I’d remove Klipperscreen with Kiauh. Then i reinstalled with Kiauh. I did get a question I’m not sure about. Asked if I want to standalone y/n? I selected Y (Not sure if supposed to). Then it asked about something else but I don’t remember what it said but answers were x and I think w. I selected X then I did a bunch of stuff (once again not sure if that’s correct)
I can’t find anywhere videos/ instructions that someone else was asked those questions.

What am i doing wrong?
could it be as simple as my M8P-cb1 / EBB are very outdated. Wanna say last time I updated firmware was well over a year ago??


Start with the CB1, M8P, HDMI5, KlipperScreen, and Kiauh details in the issue, including the edited SD-card text file and the standalone installation choice. Reproduce the reported HDMI and USB-C connections and compare them with the working Mac connection. Done means KlipperScreen renders on the HDMI5 when connected to the CB1.
