OK I have started to test it now. My cernel is now: $ uname -a Linux DEM-RSZABO-U20 5.7.0-050700rc7-generic #202005242331 SMP Sun May 24 23:33:19 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux with self compiled and patched nvida driver (the latest driver kernel module with the mainline kernel does not compile without a patch see (https://gitlab.com/snippets/1965550) ): So Now I run Nvidia driver and external monitor over the thunderbolt 3 where also the FireWire interface is running.
