Re: HP G2 dock with HP Zbook laptop - display problems

There are two versions, the Thunderbolt G2 dock and the Universal G2 dock. I have the latter. I will double-check to make sure when I get home, but I am fairly certain it does not have a Thunderbolt port. I will install and test with the bolt package anyway.

EDIT: No, this one does not have the ...

Re: HP G2 dock with HP Zbook laptop - display problems

Just thought I would add the dmesg output. There's lots of USB activity as might be expected, but about two thirds of the way down it does identify a DisplayLink device. I think the Realtek device might the the Ethernet port. There is a warning about the volume range, not nothing to suggest any kind ...

Re: HP G2 dock with HP Zbook laptop - display problems


A lot of resolutions are 'discovered' by drivers and you may have to test and setup some special config's for that dock. I would suspect that interrogating the 'monitor' when your in the dock means that the dock is responding.

That is true when booted into Windows for sure. Windows automatically ...

Re: HP G2 dock with HP Zbook laptop - display problems

Thanks. That does explain the resolution I get over HDMI. However, I am using a DisplayPort cable between dock and monitor. It does work at full resolution in Windows 11. Just won't work with Linux.

Having spent most of the day messing around with it and various xrandfr commands, I think the ...

HP G2 Universal Dock with HP Zbook laptop - display problems

I am having difficulty getting my Iiyama display working via the HP G2 dock on my HP Zbook laptop. The display has a maximum resolution of 2560x1440. The best i can get is when I connect it directly to the HDMI-0 port, which gives me full HDMI resolution of 1290x1080. When I connect the dock and the ...

Re: Problem with latest update


There might be some issue with syncing because the new packages were only just pushed into the repos.

Maybe wait a day and then try again.


Ah, that could explain it. The missing repositories are in the UK so its possible they haven't sync'ed yet ...
