Are there Linux drivers for the CSV-1585?

Ethernet and USB Hub work but the Display doesn’t. Tried both HDMI and DP. All works fine with Windows 11.

Many preemptive thanks!

 

My Ubuntu release:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble

(I bought a CSV-1585, I assumed Linux would be supported and I didn’t look for supported OSes. Alas…)

Your computer has Windows 11 and Linux. Without changing any connection, the CSV-1585 works in Windows but not in Linux? Therefore, the problem is with the drivers of the GPU of your computer.

What computer do you have?

What GPU?

What GPU drivers?

Does the USB-C port that the CSV-1585 is connected to support a display in Linux without the CSV-1585?

CSV-1585 has a DisplayPort MST hub. Does the Linux GPU driver support MST?

Finally I read another manual; The USB-C port on my Linux does not support display. Thanks for the hint.

I will have to plug in the HDMI cable and switch the monitor to the laptop every time I switch between the two.

Still I think the CSV-1585 is a nifty device for anyone wanting to use two laptops one at the time. Will considering upgrading the Linux one.

Thanks for the swift reply!
