I realise this is a very old thread, but I'm considering getting a new MBP 13 and have a trusty Lenovo USB3 dock which I'd prefer not to have to replace (it's not necessarily a deal breaker but could be another $150-$250 I'd prefer not to spend in switching back to Mac).
I'm using that dock on MBP for additional screen + printer. Aukey made a great USB-C power pass-thru adapter that includes USB 3.0 ports and HDMI port as well. i got it on amazon for something like $45.
While Lenovo doesn't supply a driver for the display adapters, the chipset inside it (and as far as I can tell, all other USB 3.0 to DisplayPort devices) is provided by DisplayLink. You can install the generic DisplayLink adapter drivers directly from their website at:
I am using the Lenovo usb 3.0 dual monitor docking station with the new beta drivers March 13 2015. I think they got it right now. No more screen blinking when watching videos and ethernet is working great. I have Mac Book Pro 15.4 11.2 Mid 2014. This is my first mac.
Really old and persistent problem with proprietary nvidia drivers... If I enable nouveau graphic driver in my kubuntu 17.04 installed on lenovo P50 there are really many resolutions available in displays settings starting from really "small" up to native 3840x2160, that's great. But, when I switch to any version of nvidia proprietary driver there is only native resolution(3840x2160) available, nothing else. Is there a way how can I fix it? No solution using "scaling" is acceptable of course. Nvidia drivers are much faster on other side, but because of this I cannot use it e.g. for presentation...
Since I can't yet comment, I'll provide some possible solutions that may or may not work as well since originally, as a comment, I wanted to ask what your BIOS settings was set to when attempting to switch to the proprietary drivers? And, are you running on Hybdrid Graphics or Discrete Graphics?
Then, if so, I might've suggested changing your BIOS settings to discrete graphics (or the other if already set as discrete) to see if perhaps the limitation on available resolutions is due to the wrong driver being applied to the active graphics processor.
Make sure you have nvidia-settings installed, it is included usually with the Nvidia Linux graphics driver but since it remains open how you installed the drivers (from repository, nvidia website, software updater, etc.), you can check if it's installed or install it if needed
After switching to the proprietary drivers (which I'm not sure if that means a driver uninstall and install or a change in BIOS but assumes it works without other known issues) is to try reconfiguring your display manager and/or reinstalling the package for it so that it reconfigures itself to be used with the proprietary drivers upon switching:
Although the process of 'switching drivers' wasn't described in full, it was assumed that the normal steps were taken and still resulted in this problem, specifically, restarting after installing the proprietary drivers as that might prevent such issues from arising, but could go unnoted if checking display settings immediately after installing that would've motivated an uninstall before any system reboot occurred.
A guest user reported being able to add previously unavailable resolutions to their install of Kubuntu 13.10 for an external display using xrandr here. That same thread, to make the changes permanent, also mentions making an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (AKA the X Display Manager config file) so that it's actually used by the system, since Kubuntu doesn't come standard with it.With help from this guide, a quick overview of the steps look something like this:
I'm trying to install Windows (tried and failed both 10 and 11) on a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ITL6. Neither Windows installer recognises any storage drives. I've tried both with and without Intel VMD enabled in BIOS, to no avail.
With Intel VMD enabled, Windows suggests the "Intel RST VMD Controller 9A0B" driver but, after installing it, the installer returns an error saying "No new device drivers were found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, then click OK.".
I have checked the image that I previously flashed to the USB drive when I used gnome-disk-utility and the integrity check passed for Windows 11. This is the last image that I flashed, so I couldn't check the Windows 10 one. This also means that the Windows 11 image that I downloaded from Microsoft's servers here -us/software-download/windows11 contains all the files that's expected of it.
However, as previously recommended, we suggest you try creating the installer with another tool to discard that the root cause is how was being created. We downloaded the OS image, and created the installer with Rufus and it doesn't cause any issues.
I understand that you're keen on me trying Rufus, however, I couldn't find any versions which work on Linux. Given that I can only install Linux (currently Ubundu 23.04), Rufus is a no-go. In order to use Rufus, I'd need to install Windows, first, which is the main issue here.
Please be aware that we provide an Intel RST generic driver and Computer Manufacturers make customizations to their systems, including driver software hence we recommend you check this issue with your Computer Manufacturer or Microsoft to know why is still asking for the drivers when they have been installed already. Because, as previously mentioned, we downloaded an OS image and installed it normally in an Intel system without problems.
You can carry out this procedure with both Linux and Windows, though I don't know how to extract .exe file contents in a folder on Linux. You can search online how to do that.
Go to the Asus Website, from there, download the Intel RST drivers for your exact device name/model and windows 11. If you can't find one explicitly mentioning both your device's name/model and Windows 11, then you can try searching both the things together on google e.g. Asus IRST Drivers Windows 11 for BlablaBook/BlablaPad 6 11tWL5JW. If there still isn't anything on the Asus website satisfying both your wants together then just download your model's general drivers and if even they aren't available then as a last resort download the ones for 11th gen+.
Now run the driver file and don't 'Install' it, instead if there is an option of 'Extract Only', you can even directly extract to the rufus created bootable usb, just make sure not to overwrite anything. For linux, instead of ventoy use woeusb cli method. Now back to windows, if there was no 'Extract Only' option, then close the installer and open the windows powershell as administrator and run these commands:
Command 1: cd path to where your driver.exe is stored, you can copy it from its Properties
Command 2: ./driver file name -extractdrivers blablabla
Once you have placed the drivers extracted folder into your bootable usb. Load into your bios, enable VMD and then boot into your windows installation usb. When you click on 'Customized Install', Click on 'Load Drivers', now find the extracted folder, go to its subfolder and click on 'Open'. You will now see 1 or 2 .inf extension driver VMD files. If there is 1, just use it. If there are 2, then for Windows 11 you need the one that has 19 in it. The other one which has 18 in it is recommended for Windows 10.
Now you can install and use Windows 11 with Asus VMD. Boom.
1. lack of an archive: no Windows version is able to work, but both Intel and the manufacturer provide Windows executable files exclusively instead of archives. To install the Windows drivers, customers must first have Windows installed, which makes the point moot. @Jocelyn_Intel you should really provide archived downloads instead of .exe files, because Windows doesn't run in the first place, only other operating systems do.
3. @Jocelyn_Intel makes the assumption that the operating system's installation media (SD card, USB drive, CD ROM) is incorrectly copied, in spite of the customer stating otherwise, and insists that you, the end user, are the problem, not Intel nor the manufacturer. My screenshots should be evidence enough that the installation media works. Even if the OS installation media was somehow corrupted, we're discussing the inability to install drivers found on a separate drive, not on the OS installation media itself. It feels like Intel's customer support isn't able to go off script in spite of end users having a separate problem. After reading some other replies in this forum, it looks like this is Intel's "have you tried turning it off and on again?" standard customer support message. Intel employees just follow the script, unable to comprehend what the end user's problem actually is, standard first line of support.

This is a long shot. I don't get my eGPU with a RTX 4070 to work in Windows 11. An RX 7800XT gives constantly a green screen of death so that one is not an option either. I read somewhere that you can fix the nVidia blue screen of death by running Windows 10 and install the drivers without network support. Windows 10 installed fine and everything is recognized, exceppt the USB4/ TB ports. They work as USB 3 ports but do not operate as USB 4 or TB. Those stills how up the other devices as Unknown USB Host Controller. Does anyone know what controller Lenovo is using??? Maybe if you go in device manager in Windows 11m can someone give me more information? It would be amazing, thank you!!
