However i could not get video from the hp usbc dock g5 on any channel src usbc on hp elitebook x360 1040 g10it turns out the order of connection is vitally important probably imo due to an edid emulation chain since the dock also supports remembered monitor connections

Iirc video connections from the kvm to the dock should be the very last connections made dock on laptop plugged in an on monitors connected to the kvm and target channel selected but whatever the truth is it does work eventually
