2 monitors Ubuntu 18.04.4 (HDMI > HDMI & VGA > USB C)

Jan Peeter

Update!!

Ok so I figured that I can only get the screens mirrored with the adapter which didn't solve my problem. So instead I got VGA to USB C cable so each screen connected to it's own port but for some reason the USB C port is not detected. I have tested the cable on my Mac and it works fine, just not on Ubuntu. So clearly this is driver issue. Does anyone have experience with this on Asus UX433FA laptops? Here is my lsusb output:

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 13d3:56cb IMC Networks

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.4 on my Asus UX433FA-A5155T. I just bought myself a 2nd monitor and trying to set it up, not as easy as I thought. Here is my set up.

I have one HDMI port connected with HDMI splitter to the 2 monitors. If I plugin the splitter the 2 monitors displays for brief moment in mirrored mode and then it just returns back to my laptop display and both external monitors just black screen. I suspect this can be something to do with the refresh rate but can't be certain.

I played around with xrandr to get the monitors to display which I got one stage in mirrored mode but obviously this is not want I want to achieve, I would like them to flow into each other, each monitor on its own.

I have gathered some information to display what I have, hope this works. If someone can just please let me know if they got their 3 monitors working with Ubuntu 18.04.

Ok I got feedback from ASUS. Turns out the USB-C port can only be used for data transfer and not display thus only one display port on this laptop model and that is the HDMI port.
