I use two external monitors connected to a USB-C dock with Fedora 31. However, the monitors are connected to the dock via HDMI and DisplayPort. - Tim On 3/25/20, 5:26 PM, "S.Bob" wrote: All; I recently updated my laptop to this: ASUS VivoBook Pro 17 N705FD (ht

All; I recently updated my laptop to this: ASUS VivoBook Pro 17 N705FD (https://www.asus.com/Laptops/ASUS-VivoBook-Pro-17-N705FD/) Unfortunately the usb-c port on this laptop does not support a monitor. It does have an HDMI port so I can add a second monitor but I want 2 external monitors

Thank you all. I will likely do a reinstall, as I am using Rawhide, and would like to test the lastest good iso. Here is what I think I did, and my mistake was doing it at 3 in the morning, when I was half asleep. I logged in as root, so that I could rename the file: /usr/share/images/backgroun
