I have a work-in-progress to support Thunderbolt, but that’s not always the
same as just DisplayPort-over-USBC. If your connector has the Thunderbolt
logo, then it’s Thunderbolt, if it has the DP logo then it’s not. Even then,
the Thunderbolt component only controls enable/disable permissions and
bandwidth partitioning. The graphics chip and DRM code does the rest of the
work, and it sounds like the problems here are with those components.
