Support lightning (aka HiDPI) resolutions
On Mac Mojave, Displaylink does not support HiDPI resolutions. These are screen modes that render the desktop at double the size so that fonts become more crisp. For example on my 1440p monitor, there's a 720p HiDPI mode. When I connect the monitor directly to my mac, this mode can be selected. When I connect via my Dell D6000, nothing happens when selecting this mode.
You can use the following open source application to select resolutions:

A related issue is that custom resolutions added by the above application do not work when the monitor is connected via Displaylink -…

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?

macOS Multi User Support
When logged in as one user and I switch to another user in macOS, the DisplayLink driver loses all connectivity to my external monitors.
My use case is family members each having their own user on the laptop.
The current workaround is to open the lid, exit clamshell mode and manually start DisplayLink Manager, even though it is already in the top menu bar.
This happens everytime when switching between logged in users.

Retain Windows positions on screen when plugging in dock cable
When i switch between 2 computers using the same dock, all the windows positions are lost and i have to spend time rearranging them back to where i like them (across multiple monitors). I swap pcs regularly during the day and i waste alot of time doing this. If it can retain the windows settings it would be awesome

Work to provide RHEL/CentOS native compatibility
Every employee in the modern corporate environment has a laptop.
On each laptop are displaylink drivers to support the docks at workstations (for 2 to 6 monitors).
All of those workstations run windows, but they don't have to - they could run RHEL or CentOS instead, if there was a displaylink driver available.
Please work to create and support a displaylink driver for RHEL/CentOS. You would bring joy to many developers and engineers working from both home and office.
As the displays are relevant for only the workstations, creating it only for the latest version and not back-porting (RHEL/CentOS 8)…

Night shift and True tone on macOs
I think it's a big miss not to have Night shift and True tone.
For those who have an external monitor without a brightness sensor or want the same colors as the internal monitor.
Working at night is difficult without this feature.Please add support for these functions for MacOs

Add display calibration with the Apple color calibrator
Right now, the only profile allowed for my external displayPort displays is sRGB, whereas I have my own calibrations which color correct my monitors.
As it is now, I only calibrate the color profile of my laptop monitor and the HDMI-connected screen, neither of which utilize your driver..

FreeBSD support
I use SUNIX VGA2715 which shows it is DisplayLink adapter. It works fine on Mac but it dosn't work on FreeBSD even if I load dynamic kernel module "udl".
I am not familiar with that ; if it requires additional driver, could DisplayLink provide or give me any possible to workaround ?
Thanks,

add support for Ubuntu Touch
Ubuntu Touch originally developed by canonical is still being developed by ubports.
I believe it could benefit from display link technology for external display support
it is currently based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and is pretty well supported
it also uses an android container to interface with userspace drivers21 votes
