Conflicts using Nvidia Prime, Displaylink and Ubuntu
I would like to describe conflicts using Nvidia Prime, Displaylink and Ubuntu in my experience.
My environment: Ubuntu 18.10, Nvidia GTX 1070 (nvidia-driver-415), Displaylink 5.1, Asus MB168B+ (USB monitor), laptop Gigabyte Aero15x.
If I try to login with nvidia profile activated and anything connected in USB ports (even only a mouse), I will face a login loop. It only will stop after disconnecting all USB devices, restarting the system and then I'll be able to login into my Ubuntu. Once logged in, I can connect my USB devices and use everything included my second monitor.
If I…

free top games
Hey everyone,
I’d like to share a nice platform I’ve been using lately called Free Top Games.
It’s a clean and well-organized website that offers hundreds of high-quality free online browser games. Every day they update new trending titles across many genres including .io battles, action shooters, racing games, puzzles, arcade classics, adventures, and multiplayer experiences.
What I really like is that you can play everything instantly — no downloads, no registration, and completely free. It works smoothly on both desktop and mobile devices. If you have a multi-monitor setup, you can easily play on one screen while keeping your…3 votes -
Driver Signing
Your DisplayLink driver is unsigned. It won't work with 64bit Windows OS. I suggest fixing that if you want people to buy your product.
1 voteOur drivers are signed. If you use Windows 7, update with Microsoft security patches to verify Microsoft digital signature successfully.

switch synch rate 30 -> 60
I found this fixed my issue. The resolution was 4k'is and refresh rate was 30hz. I suspect this is due to limited resources based on my particular hardware setup. In any case switching from 30hz to 60hz also reduced the resolution to half of what it was. This was a win-win in my case as I didn't need/want 4k. I do have a pretty old machine and I am pumping this all through USB3 so probably a resource issue and then the slow refresh confused my considerably, compared to PC, newer HDMI --> TV <-- . Forgot to add, I…

HI, Let customers decide WHEN to install new drivers. (Automatic driver update messes up my 4 + 1 monitor trading station.) Thanks.
(the automatic updates re-arrange and resize everything on my screens causing me headache. The driver should be updater when no windows left opened / programmes running.)
1 vote8.0+ will cause the software update to happen over the next reboot, rather than immediately while you are working.

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…

DisplayLink Manager app auto-start on MacOS 10.15.7
I have been trying to get the new 1.2 display link graphics driver to work with my MBP Catalina10.5.7 and my Asus MB168+ monitor. I stumbled over the fact that it doesn't seem to auto open the driver unless you manually open it in Applications. Might be worth looking at ?

Considering a Move from macOS to Linux – Developer Experiences?
Hi everyone,
I’m considering a switch between macOS and Linux and would love to hear your experiences.
I’ve been using a MacBook (Apple Silicon) for work for several years. I really appreciate the polish of macOS—apps like Mail, Calendar, and Keynote are excellent, and the M-series performance and battery life are outstanding, especially for a notebook.
At the same time, as a developer, I often miss Linux features:
More flexible window management
Native Docker without relying on a VM
Overall workflow and customization space waves
I don’t use Windows (ads, telemetry, and I don’t game), so my real question is…1 vote -
Is there a way to decompress DisplayLink data on another device?
I would love to be able to forward raw DisplayLink data to another device (running a host OS like Linux/Windows) and decode that data on the device for a live PiP sort-of display. This could enable devices that allow hosting other devices' displays on one single master device. I am a hobbyist looking to create a proof-of-concept device that allows me to control another device from mine. (Focusing on high-ish performance and not using existing tech like Wireless transmission, or other non-native solutions) DisplayLink seems like a perfect candidate currently, since the data is compressed and forwarded to…

Add per-monitor scaling & independent refresh rate control
Hello DisplayLink team, SoFlo Wheelie Life
I would like to suggest adding per-monitor scaling and independent refresh rate control within the DisplayLink software.
Many of us use mixed monitor setups (for example, a 4K laptop screen with 1080p or ultrawide external displays). Right now, Windows often forces the same scaling behavior across multiple DisplayLink monitors, which results in blurry text or inconsistent UI sizes. Native GPU outputs already support per-monitor DPI scaling very well, but DisplayLink outputs do not always behave the same way.
It would be extremely helpful if DisplayLink Manager could:
Allow manual DPI scaling per DisplayLink…

Add Brightness and Contrast Adjustment Features to the Taskbar App

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.
- Don't see your idea?
