Hi;

I bought this laptop over Christmas:

ASUS VivoBook Pro N705FD Notebook, 17.3" FHD Display, Intel Core i7-8565U Upto 4.60GHz, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD + 1TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, HDMI, Card Reader, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Windows 10 Pro

And I installed Fedora 31 on it.

The HDMI port drives a second monitor fine but the USB-C port will not. I can plug an external drive into the USB-C port and it mounts it fine, however I would like to drive an additional monitor with it.

When I plug an external monitor into the USB-C port I usually see something like this via dmesg:

[100335.446405] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 11 using xhci_hcd
[100335.919043] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=2109, idProduct=0100, bcdDevice= 6.03
[100335.919046] usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[100335.919048] usb 1-3: Product: USB-C dongle
[100335.919050] usb 1-3: Manufacturer: VIA Technologies Inc.        
[100335.919051] usb 1-3: SerialNumber: 0000000000000001
[100340.101375] usb usb2-port3: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?
[100344.156355] usb usb2-port4: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

Also here is the output of an lspci:
