Support rotation on M1 Macs
Update to enable rotation to work correctly on M1 Macs.

DisplayLink Manager 1.6 or newer (https://synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/macos) on macOS 12 Monterey now enables display rotation on Apple M1 computers (details in https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1984314 )
For issues with this new functionality, please reach out to Technical-Enquiries@Synaptics.com so the team can investigate through a technical support ticket.

Broken on Big Sur 11.2.3 with Mac Book Air M1 running either DisplayLink manager 1.2.0 AND 1.3.0
Please fix it, I bought my external monitor with the sole purpose of using it with display link. -

"Rotation on the DisplayLink Manager is available from macOS 11 Big Sur and DisplayLink Manager v1.1 onwards. For previous macOS versions, DisplayLink classic driver stays available."
This is NOT accurate in any way, shape or form. Rotation is not working at all and I'm worried by seeing this 7 months ago and still no fix that people responsible for this think it's fixed?! We need this fixed!

Screen rotation on the displaylink displayers is not working though the 2 displays are driving 2x2K monitors fine in landscape mode. I have a Mac Mini M1 with 1.3 driver in Big Sur via 4URPC Triple 4K Display USB-C Docking Station DS-C02 (with 1 HDMI alt port, 1 HDMI Displaylink output, and 1 Displayport Displaylink output) . I have 1x43" 4K monitor and 2x24" Dells at 1920x1080 in vertical portrait mode. The 2 Dells are on the Displaylink output and neither can rotate. And if I mix the USBC alt port HDMI output with the DisplayLink output (either one), the system crashes, kicks me out of the system, reboots, and a minute later, I am back to the initial boot log in screen. After logging back in, my system tells me the DisplayLink manager is disable and manually running Displaylink manager yields nothing (which tells me Big Sur disabled the software because of the repeated crahses). I can re-able the Displaylink manager if I unplug the dock's USBC connection to the mini and reset its power.
