usb-c video dongle attached but no video out detected












0















I am on latest ubuntu 18.10 with latest updates installed.



I use lusb and it shows



2109:0100 via labs inc



when i connect my USB-c video dongle thing.



I have a DVI-out attached to it. None of my monitors can detect video from it. How do i verify that it can process video? Why can't my laptop send video out of the USB-c hole? If it exposes USB-c shouldn't video be supported out of that hole? How do I verify these things?



thanks
