1. Support of proprietary NVIDIA driver

   On my Ubuntu 20.04, Thinkbook 16p 2Gen, ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C+USB-A Dock combination, DisplayLink driver 5.5.Beta works at least for a hdmi 2560x1440 display together with the proprietary NVIDIA driver version 510.47.03.
   Setting the displays via the kde control panel was not so easy and robust ... with "nvidia-settings" impossible.

   It's okay for me now. So, many thanks for the driver. :-)

   Displaylink driver 5.4.1 did not work at all.

   Is it a coincidence or luck that 5.5.Beta works with the proprietary NVIDIA driver?

   Is an update to DisplayLink Release: 5.5, Mar 9, 2022 a risk?

2. Enable Combine Displays functionality in the driver

   I have a Samsung Neo G9, which for some reason only came with 1 DP and 2 HDMIs. For gaming I use the DP, but for work I use the HDMIs. To get the full resolution (5120x1440) I run 2x HDMIs @ 2560x1440 via a DL-6950 dual HDMI solution from Plugable.

   The problem is it's one screen. So without this feature, dragging windows hits an invisible "wall" in the center of the screen, my start menu is offset or duplicated, and I can't maximize windows across the entire screen.

   With the Intel graphics center and the Intel GPU, I can combine the displays so it looks like 1 screen to Windows. That means I can maximize across the entire display and have my Start menu in the center where it belongs on an ultrawide. That feature doesn't exist for DisplayLink from what I can tell, but it would make a big difference in my productivity. I'd keep using the Intel adapter but it's wonky and sometimes takes 5-10m to actually display on the screen.

3. Have the ability to mix 3.5mm headphone jack with 3x 3.5mm surround audio jack via software

   My Toshiba Dynabook uses a DisplayLink-chipset for things like 1x 3.5mm headphone audio output (front) and 3x 3.5mm surround sound audio output (rear; 5.1). When setting Windows to 5.1 audio, the headphone-output only plays the stereo front audio. There should be an option inside the driver-software-interface to switch between different modes: a) headphones/surround are different audio devices, b) headphone should play all 5.1 sounds (the 3x rear audio jacks), c) the current way (just in case somebody wants it that way). Why? I see the headphone output as a way to seamlessly switch between loudspeakers and well quieter headphones. That's why the headphone-output should play the same as all 3x rear outputs.

4. Fix drivers about screen lag when using external 4K monitor (macOS Catalina)

   Please fix DisplayLink Drivers as using an external 4K monitor (Samsung S32R750) with Targus DV4K with latest drivers (5.2.5) on macOS Catalina (10.15.6 on MacBook Pro 16" 2020) plugged through Apple USB-C cable (40 Gbits) is making everything "laggy" on the external 4K (mouse, space change, video playing, etc.).
   Everything has been tested (cables check and changes, switching HDMI or DisplayPort, using original Targus single USB-C cable or using Apple USB-C cable, etc.) to see this issue it is ONLY and DIRECTLY linked to DisplayLink Drivers on MacOS.
   No issues when using a simple USB-C adapter with 4K HDMI (instead of my Targus DV4K Dock) : this is crazy as most of these adaptors are under $100 or even $50 compared to my Targus DV4K which is more than $300 !!

5. Fix DisplayLink driver so it works 100% with MacOS

   When I have only 1 external monitor connected to my M1 MacBook Pro and I'm not using DisplayLink, the "Remember Window Position" feature of the OS works as expected.
   With 2 external monitors (and the unfortunate necessity of DisplayLink), the Remember Window Position feature no longer works.
   Please fix the DisplayLink driver so it is effectively invisible to the OS and external monitors behave the same as they do without DisplayLink.

6. Update DisplayLink Driver for macOS to launch automatically and hidden

   Hello,

   We are finding that the autostart script is not bulletproof. Having this scripted along with our installation in JAMF is successful however if the automatic startup checkbox is accidentally unchecked by the user it will no longer be enabled for automatic startup. The humanscale dock is unusable unless the DisplayLink Manager is launched.

   https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1964953-enabling-disabling-displaylink-manager-autostart-v

   Thank you,
   ~ Joe

8. Persistent connection in clamshell mode

   When disconnecting (Apple M1) from a DisplayLink dock (Dell D6000) and reconnecting in clamshell mode, external displays are not recognised.

   The laptop screen needs to be opened out of clamshell mode and then closed again for the displays to be recognised. This extra step shouldn't be required.

9. Update documentation for disabling PageFlip on Ubuntu

   The documentation at https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1181623-displaylink-ubuntu-driver-after-recent-x-upgrades suggests creating a configuration file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, however configuration in this directory may be ignored in favor of user-specific config at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=198719 for an explanation.

10. Make DisplayLink installer compatible with Ubuntu 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo)

    I'm testing the prerelease version of the next Ubuntu release, 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo). There are incompatibilities between 21.04 and the current Ubuntu DisplayLink release, and I wanted to bring them to your attention, in case you weren't already aware, ask whether you are aware of any workarounds, and ask what your timeline is for supporting 21.04.

    1) The evdi kernel module that ships with your DisplayLink installer does not compile under 21.04. I had to use the evdi module included with Ubuntu rather than the version that comes with your DisplayLink installer.

    2) It appears that if my DisplayLink hub isn't plugged into my computer when it boots, the DisplayLink displays aren't detected when I subsequently plug in the hub.

    3) If I unplug my DisplayLink hum from my computer and then plug it back in, the DisplayLink displays go away and there doesn't appear to be anything I can do to get them back, short of rebooting.

    Things I have tried:

    1) Invoking /opt/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager by hand as root after plugging in the DisplayLink hub makes no difference.

    2) I've tried both Xorg and Wayland: same behavior on both.

    3) I've tried both the Ubuntu version of libevdi and the version that you ship in your installer; same behavior with both.

    4) I've tried both with a non-DisplayLink display plugged directly into the computer and without, i.e., with just displays plugged into my DisplayLink hub; same behavior for both.

    Are you aware of these issues? Do you know of any workarounds, short of rebooting? Do you have a timeline for when you will release a new version of your installer that is compatible with 21.04?

    Thank you,

    Jonathan Kamens

11. Wacom display tablet on Android

    Using a DisplayLink dock I have connected a Wacom One Display Tablet to a Google Pixel 3a mobile running Android 12. I have used both the DisplayLink Presenter and Desktop app. The display works however, the stylus input, while recognized, is not calibrated for both portrait and landscape. When using a mouse, the pointer is displayed on the mobile screen but, not the external display.

14. Manager / option for disable one of external monitor

    Hi,
    I am using HP G2 universal dock which support 2xDP and 1xHDMI.
    It would be great to control from app/manager enabling and disabling one of external monitor.
    I see it like available monitors list with checkbox (enabled/disabled) in DisplayLink Manager located in top bar - macOS.

16. ICC support on BigSur and Intel macs

    As of now there's a littl quirk in the way DL manages screens and icc profiles. On my M1 11.6 macOS my screens are detected in ColorSync. Thus I can use ICC profiles for calibration. On my work intel 11.6 macOS the screens are not detected. This is weird considering that DisplayLink caters to the "pro" community. As of now I have o idead what profile my INTEL is using thus making my color critical work laptop slightly useless.

    But, why is the M1 seeing them? I would expect that this would be a problem on M1s not INTEL.

18. Implement Clamshell mode for Big Sur / M1 Chip

    I cannot run external displays while in clamshell mode on Big Sur, while the laptop is open it works perfectly fine.

    The second you close the laptop and enter clamshell mode you lose signal to your external displays.

    This has issue has over 450 votes and has been an issue since August 2020, how long do we have to wait for this to be implemented or is there any work arounds that are currently working?

    This is a major issue that is affecting thousands of users, we haven't had any update since November.... Will this ever be fixed?
