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.

So are you going to FIX the video versus mass storage device USB driver issue between Windows 10 Anniversary and HP Docking HSTNN S01X ?
So are you going to FIX the video versus mass storage device USB driver issue between Windows 10 Anniversary and HP Docking HSTNN S01X , or are we just out of luck?
1 voteThis cannot be fixed by DisplayLink as we now need to use the Microsoft USB driver. The Microsoft USB driver cannot support switching USB configurations, which is required to support these docks. This means there are no plans to fix this issue.

Support for Target Display Mode (i.e. using an iMAC as a monitor)
An iMAC can be used as an external monitor using Target Display Mode. Is it possible to get a DisplayLink dock to enable TDM when iMAC is plugged to the dock (i.e. using a Tunderbolt 2 to HDMI cable)?
For example, I have a MAC Book Pro 13inch (2016) and an iMAC 27inch (2012). I use iMac as an external monitor using TDM with MacBook Pro (using a Thunderbolt 2 to USB-C cable) as described on https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh30822/mac
I also have a Dell DA300 displaylink dock. Using Tunderbolt 2 to HDMI cable to connect iMAC to dock and USB-C from dock…

DisplayLink is lagging on Macos Sonoma
As soon as I connect my single 1080p display to my M1 Mac the whole system starts to lag, the mouse, the animations and the funny thing is that this is not only on the extended display but on both. Plus one thing that I noticed is that if I shut the lid of my mac and only use the external display the system is smooth again. I think an M1 Air should at minimum handle a 4k extended display.
Note: I have tried the Alpha build for the manager and it's still awful.
6 votes1.10 Alpha 2 is now available on the website to correct this on macOS Sonoma advanced beta. Please use any release from 1.10 Alpha 2 onwards.

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 plugins visible while tracking. Without…

DisplayLink Support for iPad under Sideloading with iPad0S 18
Under iPad OS 18 apple promised according to the new EU law to open up iPad OS 18 for sideloading.
Therefore it would be possible to provide alternative software circumventing the rough restrictions of the app store.
To sum up: It should be possible to download a display link driver over a 3rd party app store on iPad.
iPads than would support dual display via display link which would be a feature i absolutely love - and need-6 votes -
Support of proprietary NVIDIA driver
On my Ubuntu 20.04, Thinkbook 16p 2Gen, ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C+USB-A Dock combination, DisplayLink driver 5.5.Beta works at least for a hdmi 2560x1440 display together with the proprietary NVIDIA driver version 510.47.03.
Setting the displays via the kde control panel was not so easy and robust ... with "nvidia-settings" impossible.It's okay for me now. So, many thanks for the driver. :-)
Displaylink driver 5.4.1 did not work at all.
Is it a coincidence or luck that 5.5.Beta works with the proprietary NVIDIA driver?
Is an update to DisplayLink Release: 5.5, Mar 9, 2022 a risk?

Please add a monitor rescan/refresh option
Sometimes the only way to refresh/rescan connected monitors is to quit displaylink and reopen it. A refresh/rescan menu choice inside of display link menu would be better (Display link 1.2 later MAC OS M1 macs).

Please Add an Option to Disable or Customize the DisplayLink On-Screen Display (OSD)
I would like to request a new feature regarding the on-screen display (OSD) messages that appear when connecting or disconnecting DisplayLink devices. These pop-ups can be distracting, especially during presentations, screen recordings, or when switching between workspaces.
Details / Concerns:
Could you please add an option in the DisplayLink Manager to disable the OSD notifications entirely?
Alternatively, the ability to customize the OSD (position, transparency, duration, or size) would be extremely helpful.
Many users find the current OSD intrusive, and having control over it would significantly improve the user experience.
This feature would benefit professionals who require a clean…

ICC support on BigSur and Intel macs
As of now there's a littl quirk in the way DL manages screens and icc profiles. On my M1 11.6 macOS my screens are detected in ColorSync. Thus I can use ICC profiles for calibration. On my work intel 11.6 macOS the screens are not detected. This is weird considering that DisplayLink caters to the "pro" community. As of now I have o idead what profile my INTEL is using thus making my color critical work laptop slightly useless.
But, why is the M1 seeing them? I would expect that this would be a problem on M1s not INTEL.

Linux kernel version 4 unsupported.
Just tried building the displaylink driver using the displaylink-installer.sh on my Fedora Rawhide machine and look at the results!
./displaylink-installer.sh -?
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.68 install script called: -?
Distribution discovered: "Fedora release 24 (Rawhide)"
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Kernel version 4.2.0-0.rc5.git3.1.fc24.x86_64 is too old. At least 3.14 is required.

Displaylink issues with Mac Mini M4
Hello,
New to the world of Mac, as I bought the Mac Mini M4 yesterday.
I've connected it to my 'ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock', which is connected to two Dell screens with an hdmi cable and a display port cable. I've installed the Synaptics Displaylink app as well as the Login Screen extension, but I still get no image until I've logged in geometry dash lite. Is anyone experiencing the same?

Fix DisplayLinkManager and driver before it damages my MacBook
Mojave 10.14.6 with latest DisplayLink driver 5.2 on 2014 MacBook Air. Display is displaying correctly on Dell U2412M 1920x1200 display.
BUT ...
DisplayLinkManager is hogging between 70% and 150% of CPU. Macbook fan is going crazy. Just a couple of static web pages on screen, no background tasks. Restarting MacBook sometimes fixes the issue, sometimes not.
This is not functional software, severely degrades MacBook performance, and can even DAMAGE the MacBook.
