I am posting a copy of my Terminal readout in case it helps with the resolution to the above issue.

With my new monitor setup I don't really give a Schiff if DL ever figures this out. It is nice to know that they do visit the Linux part of this forum. As the rest of the world slowly wakes up and ditches Microsoft, Apple and Google we should see better support for open source. It is just a matter of time, so I won't "float test" my adapter just yet.
