Does Displayport supports hub funtions for e.g. usb (like the Apple Thunderbolt Display)? I just bought an Dell XPS 13 2015 (9343), now running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr). It has a Mini Displayport 1.2 and it would be awesome to connect it to a external monitor and use its built-in usb hub. Displayport 1.2 in general supports USB chaining.
The questions are now:
- Does Ubuntu supports such a feature?
- Are there even monitors (beside the Apple one) that support it?
Perhaps someone already uses such a setup. Thank you for your help!
