  1. Fix the problem where DisplayLinkUserAgent eats 38% of my CPU

    OS is windows 10, DLUA is 7.9.6.30.0. This often gets in a state where the user agent sets there using between 35 and 38% of CPU.

  2. Issue with DisplayLink on Windows 11 – External Monitor Not Detected

    I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 11 and have been using a DisplayLink docking station to connect multiple monitors. Everything worked fine on Windows 10, but now one of my external monitors is not being detected at all.

    Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

    Reinstalled the latest DisplayLink driver from the official space waves website

    Updated Windows 11 to the latest cumulative update

    Checked all cables and connections (HDMI & USB-C)

    Restarted the docking station and laptop multiple times

    The monitor still shows “No Signal,” while other connected monitors via the same dock work fine.

    Has anyone else…

  3. Displaylink driver support for ubuntu 25.10

    I recently updated my laptop to ubuntu 25.10 from 25.04. After the update, my DisplayLink dock doesn't connect my screen anymore. The keyboard and mouse connected to the dock work, but not the screen.
    The drivers page shows official support only until Ubuntu 24.04, which is 1.5 years old now. It would be nice to have support for more recent versions.

    Operating System: Kubuntu 25.10
    Kernel Version: 6.17.0-6-generic (64-bit)
    Graphics Platform: Wayland
    Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics

  4. DisplayLink Problem in Windows 11: No External Monitor Found

    I recently updated my laptop to Windows 11, and I've been connecting numerous displays with a DisplayLink docking station. On Windows 10, everything was operating smoothly, but now one of my external monitors is completely unrecognized.

    What I've attempted so far is as follows:

    updated the DisplayLink driver from the official Space Waves 2 website until it was installed again.

    installed the most recent cumulative update for Windows 11.

    examined all of the wires and USB-C and HDMI connectors.

    restarted the laptop and docking station several times.

    While other monitors attached to the same dock function properly, the monitor…

  6. 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,
    Apua

  7. 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.

    The 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.

  8. Work on compatibility w/ Ableton Live 10 (current version crashes Live)

    I'm running MacOS 10.13.3 (downgraded from 10.13.4 for reasons that I'm sure you know) on a MacBook Air (13-Inch Mid 2011, 1.8Ghz Core i7, 4 GB RAM) and whenever I have any of your latest (e.g. most recent final releases, two most recent "Betas" to fix the issue with MacOS 10.13.4) it causes Ableton Live 10 (10.0.1) to not load/run.

    The main reason that my computer system and I have a DisplayLink in my environment is for making music. I use the two screen setup while working with Live to have my AU and VST…

  10. Support Ubuntu 17.04

    Ubuntu 17.04 is not supported. I'm using a Dell D6000 docking station.
    Network and USBs work, but headphones, monitors don't.

    Also the current release cannot be installed without disabling Secure Boot.

    Ubuntu 17.04 is now end of life, (since Jan 2018) so we do not plan any further changes for this version of Ubuntu.

  11. Stop Recommending to disable Windows Update

    Do not recommend installing the msi version of DisplayLink Drivers and then disabling Windows Update. I don't think a vendor should be recommending to customers to turn off Windows Update. DisplayLink should work out a way of getting the 2 working together. Happy to discuss further.

  12. Add support for ios 13 or make a product mainly for it.

    Add support to ios ( idk if this is even possible ) but iOs 13 looks promising. A dock or stand for ipad pro for mainly desktop use would be great!

  13. MacOS BigSur - M1 support: works great, but it would be really helpful to have the "looks like 2560x1440" option available for 4K resolution

    use now a DisplayLink capable hub to use an 2nd external monitor on a M1 MacBook..

    works great, but on that screen I can only choose between "Looks like 1920x1080" or the full 4K resolution - which is not really good to read on that monitor.....

    Would be really great, if the "Looks like 2560x1440" resolution (scaling of UI) would be supported in one of the following updates.....

    Would be great to have HiDPI support for all display resolutions the M1 Macs support for the 1st external monitor

  14. Linux: reach Windows feature parity (mirroring, scaling, and rotating)

    Currently unsupported / broken in DisplayLink on Linux:

    • Display mirroring
    • Display scaling
    • Display rotation

    This really limits what you can actually do with DisplayLink on Linux - i.e. you can only currently have an extended display activated with no scaling or rotation. You can't even use only the DisplayLink connected display on its own.

  15. support close lid

    It would be great if you can implement support for the close lid, as this is available for the legacy driver, I'm not able to work on my Mac when the lid is closed and have to stick with old software to had that feature. On Display link Manager when you put a lid to close mode mac goes to sleep instead of turn off the internal monitor.

  18. 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.
