How can I exactly recognise hidp display? I had used multiple monitor
with docking station /I have a Dell Latitude 7480, with thunderbolt
docking station, audio, video, and network connections/

With subjective feeling, and usage. Smoother display, better response,
I can resize windows more than one pixel border. Bigger version number
☺ I had no particular reason to upgrade, I just wanted to it.

I compiled by hand, using the know-how, and scripts from
https://github.com/gebailey/mate-rpms

Yes, I compile it myself. The libs, and build environment a little bit
updated by hand, I try to compile mate 1.24 first, from fedora
packageges, but I'm stuck with some libs, and tetex version, and I had
give up.
