Do not update to DisplayLink version 7.9M3 on Windows 10, your displays will stop functioning.
DisplayLink just auto updated to version 7.9M3 on Windows 10. My displays stopped functioning and would not start working again, even though the dock was properly recognized in Device Manager. Uninstall current version and return to version 7.9M2 and your displays will begin working again. DisplayLink needs to address this issue.
13 votesV7.9 M3 is required to be compatible with the latest Intel and NVIDIA graphics drivers on Windows 10.
If you are having issues, please let us know through the contact area of the support site, including as much information as possible and your DisplayLink log files so we can look into it further.

phone number
How about you including a phone number so we can call you?
5 votesTelephone technical support is offered by the device manufacturers. DisplayLink is unable to offer telephone support and instead offers support through forums and emails.
I must highlight that in most cases for DisplayLink driver investigation, telephone support would NOT be helpful as log file analysis and/or consultation with engineering are necessary. Similarly, remote desktop or other remote control tool would not be more helpful as we would not see what is actually on the screen itself.

fix the random logout issue with Displaylink on a Macbook pro
My idea is that the driver is usable without logging me out because the display server crashes on my MBP. This happens once or twice a week causing me to lose work, get disconnected from meetings, etc.
4 votesThis requires fixes from Apple on later versions of OS X.The crashes do not occur on 10.8, even though it is the same driver.

Sales Support improvements
Get better customer service and sales support at Display Link. Dealing with voice mails and forms is a waste if time. Do any humans work for this company!
4 votesDisplayLink does NOT design, manufacture, distribute or sell any end product. DisplayLink is a semiconductor company. We are delighted to provide email support as debugging graphics issues are impossible by phone as we need data for a diagnosis.
The assistance for installation, and sales support, is coming from the product manufacturer and the seller as they know best the product they decided to build.

I want to use displaylink in Android kitket.
Hello.
Used properly, in my displaylink in the Android Lollipop. I want to use displaylink in Android kitket.
Do you have plans to support Android kitket?4 votesUnfortunately we are unable to support Kitkat versions. We rely on the operating system to get the pixels to display. This was only implemented from Android 5 Lollipop. That means we are unable to make it work on non-modified Kitkat versions because there is nothing for us to interface with.

Build a DispalyLink KVM!
Basically what I would like is a KVM that uses displaylink.. so only requires a single USB lead from the KVM to each host (4 or 8 hosts please), and a couple of USB's on the KVM.. one for a displaylink USB monitor, and one each for keyboard and mouse, perhaps a fourth for a usb hub if needed.
Send video keyboard and mouse down the one usb lead.
4 votesThanks for the idea, but this is not something specific for DisplayLink to do.
This would be a product built by a DisplayLink partner who would take the DisplayLink technology and build a KVM around it.

command to switch display model
command to switch display model,like to switch close model, switch to expand model,switch to mirror model
3 votesThis is currently possible using the standard Windows APIs. It is forbidden for a graphics driver to change layout and it will make it fail qualification. When a driver is not qualified, it is not Microsoft signed and cannot be on Windows Update.
-
Previous versions of DisplayLink Software
Windows version 8.1 M0 is missing from the Windows Driver Downloads Page under Previous Versions of DisplayLink Software.
3 votesWe have removed versions affected by a small security sensitivity from our website so everyone uses a newer version. 8.1 did not have any specific feature removed afterwards.

Main display taskbar setting issues with surface pro3
On my surface pro 3/win10 with a toshiba dynadock the right side of the taskbar (notifications/time/etc) always has it displaying on the surface pro3 screen even tho when i go into display settings it shows that one of my external monitors is the main display.
If I make the surface screen the main screen and then switch it back to an external screen then the external screen will have the correct taskbar functions.
If I change it to another external display then that display will not display it correctly and if i switch it back to the original main one…
3 votesHaving investigated this, it looks to be specific to Windows on the SP3.
DisplayLink drivers and software make no changes to the position of the task bar. The OS certainly thinks that the DisplayLink display is the primary monitor, but does not always move the task bar to reflect this.
There is nothing DisplayLink can do to change this behaviour.

Our Android app works on Oxygen OS today (like the Oneplus 3T), but we believe the Oneplus 2 may not support USB host mode, so cannot connect DisplayLink, (or any other USB device) to it.

Loose connector between USB3 and VGA converter
Improve connection between USB3 and VGA converter. The small, non-standard connector is falling out all the time. Make a screwed in connector as is found on the DVI/VGA side.
1 voteDisplayLink is not responsible for the product design. We provide ICs which can be integrated into products. Physical hardware failures such as this, should be fed back to the product manufacturer.
-
touchscreen support
The screen connected to my displaylink device (Toshiba dynadock) is touchscreen capable. It works beautifully with my Windows laptops but when I connect my Nexus android tablet to the dynadock, the touchscreen capabilities of my screen are ignored.
1 voteThe touch screen controllers are separate from DisplayLink and there is no touch screen technology built into our ICs.
Touch screen support is enabled by customers integrating DisplayLink and a touch screen controller into the same product.
This means that the drivers for the touch screen controller differ between products and are not part of the DisplayLink driver.
For touch support on Android, the touch screen drivers would need to be integrated into the Android OS, and this is not something DisplayLink can do as we do not own the OS on phones or tablets.

Ethernet Android OTG
I know the on board Nic doesn't work with Android. I will tell you however that if you use an OTG Android Nic and plug it into the USB port it works fine. I wonder if that will help with allowing the on board to work. Is it that it's not an OTG supported Nic. If so how could we change that?
1 voteThis needs fixing in Android OS by Google. There is an open bug on Google for this here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37096466
Please highlight this bug to Google to try and get the issue fixed.

LG L206WU USB monitors working with Windows 10 Anniversary
Update DisplayLink Drivers to support LG L206WU USB monitors with Windows 10 Anniversary Update.
1 voteThis is unfortunately not possible using the Windows UMDF USB driver and is documented in http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/942862

automate recovery of of known issues
use disable monitor (github) like code, or partner with that fellow to configure reliable placement of primary and tertiary displays. Such software could also probably be used to automate the recovery steps for the osx beta involving turning off all monitors and turning them back on... etc. Could be scripted and done without the user. At the least, check out the prj for quicker QA...
1 voteThis can be done today, using standard OS interfaces. DisplayLink displays can be managed using OS APIs.
Any known issues or problems that can be detected or worked around are already done today.

Select the graphic card for dock station.
We can select which graphic card will be use by Dock Station.
1 voteDisplayLink will not be able to implement this as this is an operating system feature. But DisplayLink is working to get the operating system writers to select the best GPU available for the task instead of selecting the first one.
- Don't see your idea?
