I can't get my computer to recognize my second #display. I'm running #Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS on a Minisforum UM890 Pro with an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and Radeon™ 780M Graphics × 16. There are 64GB of memory. The second display is a EVICIV 13.3" EVC-1301 that always worked fine with my Mac Mini and my MacBook. It's connected with a cord that is #Displayport on the PC side and #HDMI on the display side. I also tried it with USB4 to USB4. [EDIT] Problem solved!

Can I ask what the fix was?

@BenHM3 Apparently using a USB4-HDMI cord instead of a USB4-USB4 cord? But I still haven't solved the puzzle of why my DisplayPort doesn't work.

@RachelThornSub

Do you know if the DP end of the cable is input or output? This is what I started jumping up and down about reading your post. If I recall correctly, the cables for source->DPI->HDMI->monitor are completely different from ones going the other way.

And-stretching here-one of those conversions requires power and active circuitry. The other doesn’t.

Now can I remember which? Oh goodness gracious me NO.

Hoping this leads somewhere actually useful.

@BenHM3 Wait. WHAT!? You mean they have a direction!?

@BenHM3 Sure enough! I just got a response from Minisforum support.
