This might be a stretch here. I did the install with the Radeon GPU config.plist (naturally, since I have Armor card). Ok, that's great and working with my old ASUS monitor over HDMI just fine.
On my MBP, I have "LG 21.5" HD 4K Ultra Fine LED Monitor Black for Mac Only" hooked up. Connects via USB (NOT Thunderbolt!), and is PnP... I figured, let's give it a go on the new system.
When I hot plug it into either of the USB3.1/Thunderbolt-enabled ports on the board, it freezes the system. The HDMI output on the Armor still displays the desktop, but totally frozen - no input from either a wired USB mouse/KB or the Apple Magic KB or Trackpad. Had to "hard shut down".
When I hot plug it into the USB port on the front panel, everything continues to work fine, however no video. Checking the System Info, the USB appears identical on both my MBP and the new rig - it IS recognized as a USB device...
On my MBP the display shows as such:
On the "rig", it simply shows the monitor attached via HDMI.
I'm guessing in this build, there is no provision for the GPU to route video back out over USB (hardware limitation?), but I just wanted to confirm. It would be super cool to get the monitor working along with the monitors hooked up to the Radeon card, because the display is really nice
Anyway, this isn't a show stopper, but thought I'd ask.
Maybe the solution is as simple as this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081VK7Q94/?tag=tonymacx86com-20
