XPS 8910, U3419W, HDMI for video, USB-C for keyboard/mouse
Hi there - I have a Dell XPS 8910 and a Dell U3419w monitor with a USB keyboard and USB mouse plugged directly into the monitor.
- Video: I am connecting the computer to the monitor using HDMI, and the video works fine.
- Keyboard/mouse: If I connect the computer to the monitor using USB 3.0, the keyboard and mouse work fine
I would like to change the setup to the following:
- Video: continue using HDMI
- Keyboard/mouse: Connect the computer to the monitor using USB-C connector on the back of the XPS
Unfortunately, the computer doesn't seem to recognize the keyboard and mouse when connected via USB-C. Is this possible? Here is how I have the Display Manager setup:
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me.

USBC vs Thunderbolt are Different things but they use the same connector.
USBC ports would need a DOCK that has regular USB 3.0 PORTS to attach a keyboard.
KEYBOARDS are not managed with a display manager nor are USB 3.0 ports.
