I will have to experiment with this. I was using the little daisy chain cables that allow you to go out from GPU -> immediately IN to Thunderbolt card, then monitor was connected to Thunderbolt card. But I couldn't even get any output at all.
Would be curious to hear more about your setup!
- dijit 1y agoI have the same card. I "authorised" the Display in the KDE control panel, probably it was this: https://github.com/KDE/plasma-thunderbolt https://github.com/KDE/plasma-thunderbolt I did that before linking the USB-C cable to the gfx card, but I'm not sure if that's required or not? It's the only thing I did. I had multiple displays at the time, now I just have the Studio Display - if it doesn't work automatically without authorization I wonder how you would bootstrap it..
- whalesalad 1y agoWhat distro/kernel/kde version are you on? Checking now in my KDE control panel, I see that I do have a Thunderbolt section, and the display is listed as "Apple Inc. Studio Display - Disconnected, Trusted" I'll need to play about with this again over the weekend.
- dijit 1y agoI’m using kubuntu, Trusted would make me think you’ve done the tight thing. FWIW, I have Two entries in my Thunderbolt list for this
