Yes. The proprietary driver (570.133.07) did manage to light up the external monitor over USB-C/DP. It was utterly unusable, as I couldn't make it do 100% scaling on the external screen and 200% on the high-DPI laptop screen, and my attempts to do so (just using the GNOME control panel) ended up with weird effects and wrong scaling and the mouse pointer not really taking effect in the place I thought it was pointing... but setting that aside, yes. The display *did* light up. > If the proprietary driver works just fine, then we know that it's a > bug/limitation in how Nouveau talks to GSP-RM. One of the Nouveau devs can > help with that.
