![]() This allows us to show the devices in a GUI with a nice icon. Some of the icon mappings are not perfect and I'll be asking the GNOME designers for some additions to the icon specification. Custom vendor icons can also be specified, and /usr/share/fwupd/icons would be a good place to put them. If vendor icons are used they should show a physical device with the branding, rather than just the vendor logo. |

Synaptics MST
This plugin supports querying and flashing Synaptics MST hubs used in Dell systems and docks.
Requirements
(Kernel) DP Aux Interface
Kernel 4.6 introduced an DRM DP Aux interface for manipulation of the registers
needed to access an MST hub.
This patch can be backported to earlier kernels:
