Hello. I have a ROG Flow z13. As a preamble, I am extremely new to Linux and I’m trying to learn. I tried to fix this by downloading DisplayLink via Github. Did not work. I also tried on Wayland and Xorg.
I decided to get myself a hub for multiple, larger monitor support. First, I got a Daytona hub. Worked well. HDMI port worked.
Then I bought an another monitor, and decided to just buy a USB - C to HDMI converter and hook that to the hub. Turns out hubs USB-C ports don’t work for some reason. usbview returns nothing besides integrated USB-C ports.
Here’s the kicker, I can use two monitors if I plug it the USB-C to HDMI cable to the integrated port. The problem is one is a dedicated charge port and I don’t want to charge routing for the hub. So I bought a Baseus 11 port hub with two HDMI ports. The problem is, I only get vision on one monitor with the Baseus hub yet I know monitor gets input because it SOMETIMES works. When it does, it’s for one session, and most of the time the third monitor in system has broken visuals.
Thinking I can’t put two HDMI cables to one hub, finally I decided to buy a very small S-link HDMI to USB - C hub with one Power Distribution USB - C port and a USB - A port, thinking low number of ports wouldn’t cause much lose of power. I run into the exact same problem. It simply refuses to see two HDMI cables, unless it is a USB-C to HDMI cable that is connected directly to the PC.
What am I missing? Thank you in advance.
