Hello all.
I have a very interesting issue and I need someone help me reach a possible solution.
So I have managed to get my hack running to the point I am pretty much satisfied.
The only problematic point left is the Thunderbolt type-c plug. Still can't figure out how to enable hotswaping or power after sleep. However, I can pretty much live with that. The thing I cannot live with, is no USB-C video output.
Now this is an interesting case, because:
AW15R3 is running an Nvidia GTX 1070 as the main card for display on the internal screen, as well as 1 external screen via Display Port port.
The Intel HD630 does not run any graphics until a USB-C monitor is connected.
Now the issue I have, that I am very satisfied with Nvidia being the main card, as I do GPU-heavy work (rendering+modelling).
I have tried enabling the HD630, with no luck, as I get a black screen, because the internal display has no connection to the HD630 (AFAIK). It's not an Optane system, it's a G-SYNC one, therefore I cannot pick which GPU does the displaying.
Where I'm going at is that I also need a USB-C graphics tablet connected to the laptop. Right now I can do some dongle and cable swapping in order to get the tablet running. However, hopefully, I would like to be able to just connect the USB-C cable and go.
Right now, when I connect the tablet I can see the "mouse" moving (However, it's just a colourful square) on a rainbow-lined screen.
What I think needs to happen:
Intel IGPU needs to get recognized by the system and listed in the GPU section.
Thunderbolt USB-C needs to be recognized by the system as well.
Please find the problem reporting files attached. Hopefully I've included all info that's needed.
