Dell D6000 new firmware for dock not waking up on USB-C when rebooting

[ojobson]

Installing MacOS 12.1 seems to resolved my issue of the screen not waking from sleep with my Dell D6000 dock (even with latest firmware, which originally resolved this issue) and the Displaylink 1.6 beta.

Reposting my comment from another thread - I have a M1 Air M1, Dell D6000 and am running the 1.6 Beta and upgrading to 12.1 fixed the two issues I was having:

• My Displaylink connected monitor is now consistently re-enabling when I wake the PC from sleep (running 1 USB-C to Displaylink monitor + Displaylink monitor from D6000). Prevsiouly it almost never worked without reconnecting the USB connection to the dock
• Ethernet on my D6000 wouldn't work after waking from sleep and that seems to be fixed as well.

Now, it works great with 3 monitors - 1 HDMI (alt-mode) and 2 DisplayPorts.

Only thing I miss now is display rotation! Once the rotation feature works, I can call it complete.

Can you confirm how you achieve 3 displays working..? I didn't think M supported (Alt-Mode)

I have a D6000 with M2 15" Air and can't get the HDMI display to function.

I have 3 monitors conected to mi D6000, but i need to conect the monitors in a specific order:
to the HDMI conect a monitor with resolution 1920X1080, to the first displayport conect a monitor 3440X1440 and to the second displayport a monitor of 2560X1440.

if conect a monitor with higher resolution to the hdmi the monitors stop of work correctly.

AnaSofia,
The HDMI port, when used in 3 display configuration, is using another technology (not DisplayLink or Synaptics). When using only 2 displays, any port is using DisplayLink technology.
It looks like the monitor timings you have exhibit an incompatibility with that third party technology. You could look on Dell website if there's a fix for that, as it wouldn't come from us: our driver or firmware doesn't touch that other component.

Hope not to hijack this thread. If a MacBook Air is connected to a Dell D6000 dock, with two HP 24" monitors connected to the dock using USB-C/USB-C cables, is there a known issue with reboots requiring the monitors to be disconnected and reconnected again to get them to work?
