Anyone know U59 Pro support USB-C display?

I can use U59 pro with HDMI display but can't use with USB-C display.
My understanding, USB-C display need to support Tunderbolt 3/4 or USB-C Alternative mode.
I checked Beelink website but I can't find any information about USB-C.
My another PC work with USB-C display.

I have the same question for enabling my USB-C video output.  U59 Pro 16G/512G.

On windows11  both HDMI ports run fine, but  for portability and charging I need to run on USB-C port video to an Asus ZenScreen MB16AMT display.
Loaded the Synaptics driver for Window10, instead of Ubuntu version, and rebooted and changed Bios SA Graphics to IGFX as suggested by KillJoy622.
No change, and USB-C video is dark/off. Windows11 sees no difference.
My ASUS monitor works fine on other USB-C video sources, and its HDMI works fine as well.
The KillJoy622  Ubuntu success in using the same U59 Pro hardware to support USB-C video, raises the question of what Beelink support and setup is available to make Windows11 work as well.  Would be a pity to have crippled capability for many thousands of users.

Hello there,

Sorry, U59 doesn't support USB C to connect directly to the display. If you want to connect the monitor with USB C, you might try a docking station.

I have got this to work using Ubuntu Linux (20.04, 22.04)

Go to the Synaptics download page and get the latest DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu here: https://www.synaptics.com/produc ... cs/downloads/ubuntu

This downloads the displaylink-driver-5.6.1xxxx.run file. Make this executable by: sudo chmod +x displaylink-driver-5.6.1xxxx.run
Install with: sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.6.1xxxx.run

Reboot and enter BIOS (DEL or F7): Chipset tab > System Agent (SA) Configuration > Graphics Configuration > Primary Display = IGFX

Thats it!

I'm using a USB-C to USB-C to a Asus ZenScreen Go MB16AP. Works every time. I have upgraded my U59 to Ubuntu 22.04 > 22.10 with no issues.

Great little PC!
