[opensuse-support] USB-C Power Delivery on Clevo laptop
I'm really hoping Vinzenz from Tuxedo might be reading and able to help with this, but anybody else had any experience with USB-C and power delivery on Linux? I bought a secondhand Clevo laptop, originally from a specialist vendor (not Tuxedo) that's seemingly now defunct. It's a Clevo N131WU, the 13in model similar to Tuxedo's InfinityBook Pro 13: https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Linux-Hardware/Linux-Notebooks/10-14-inch... Most of the specs are similar but mine only has 5Gbps USB-C instead of Thunderbolt. I also just purchased a Startech MST30C2DPPD docking station that comes with Power Delivery amongst other things. Seems I got burnt, since I get no power through it (Leap 15.1). That's the most critical thing I need so the dock's useless to me without it. What's more, the HDMI doesn't work either (I can switch the HDMI cable directly to my laptop and it's fine. It appears some Startech docks use DisplayLink drivers but I can't find info about that relating to this specific model). All the other ports work. I could live with having to plug the HDMI separately but without PD it's a brick. So before I send the dock back, I'm wondering if there's anything known about this in openSUSE / Linux. Is Power Delivery fully supported? Does it need a kernel tweak or special package? I tried searching for how to find out if PD is even built into this laptop but commands like lsusb don't seem to show anything pertinent. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
