why I recommend avoiding this hardware whenever possible
Thank you for the very detailed explanation (again). I think I might (or
might not) just accept to have only 2 external monitors connected, and
when my other 3rd monitor (well the other 3rd one ;-) ) which I lent to
a friend comes back (in 1+ month), I could look into it again.
I now understand this was a bad purchase and.. oh dare I ask... do you
know of a better system to get 3 external monitors connected to a
Thinkpad X1 Carbon 3rd gen (Thinkpad owner since 2000 and so happy with
the Linux support these laptop have had so far, but hey, your mileage
may vary). I also tried (forgot which port now.. still have the device
though) a port splitter and while it worked, I couldn't get 3 external
monitors working at once. I could however cycle between any 2 of the
connected ones... happy me!
For reference the x1 carbon 3rd gen has a HDMI and a min-DP port (and 2x
USB3 ports). And all the monitors I connected fit into the max
resolution the graphic card can handle).
Thank you.
Fred
