  2. More user friendly Windows UI

    General overhaul of DisplayLink UI and installation manual. If I were complete beginner, I probably would have no chance to get it running properly.

  3. Switching from Windows to Linux for Development — Worth the Long-Term Move?

    After years of using Windows for work, I’m seriously considering migrating fully to Linux for software development. The Among Us constant updates, built-in ads, and background telemetry on Windows are getting frustrating. I’ve heard Linux offers cleaner workflows, better resource control, and great flexibility for coding and automation — especially when using tools like Docker and Git.

    For those who made the switch from Windows to Linux:
    – How was your transition in terms of productivity and daily workflow?
    – Did you run into any hardware or software limitations?
    – And do you think Linux is sustainable as your main…

  4. Bring proper performant support for Linux on AMD Ryzen

    Hey,

    you released the last Linux driver update in May 2020 now it is Feb 2021. I would like to see here some major improvements as the driver doesn't full fill any needs.

    Linux is already a good platform and will be even more important in future, so please support this community as well.

    Or if you don't like Linux as a platform, then move all your servers either to Windows or Mac systems as well... hahahha

    Bye the way i am running a AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U with Radeon Graphics with Linux. sounds like it's an issue with…

  5. What caused you to finally ditch Windows/MacOS and switch to Linux?

    I became fed up with Windows 11 because of bloatware, AI crapware, and my concern of telemetry and my privacy. Around November/December 2024, I finally made the decision to switch. I ended up choosing Linux Mint, and stayed on Linux ever since. I'm using Arch as of now, and it's somehow much stabler then Windows. I will never make the switch back geometry dash, under any circumstances. What what was the last straw for you?

  7. Support for 4k displaymode 1920x1280

    Please add display resolution support for BenQ 4k developer displays:
    https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/programming.html
    https://www.benq.com/en-us/monitor/programming/rd280u.html

    The RD280U has a native display resolution of 3840x2560, which is
    a 4K resolution of 1920x1280.

    The DisplayLink driver 1.11 (macOS) currently only supports
    1920x1080 and 1920x1440.

    1920x1280 is missing.

  8. add support for the VMWare SVGA Driver so that virtual machine guests can use display link

    When using virtual machines it would be really handy to have them display via usb adapters on spare monitors or PIP overlays in fancy monitors.

    Many virtualisation engineers would be buying your products, many times.

    The new DisplayLink architecture in Windows 10 Anniversary update onwards now enables support for Virtual machines.

  9. Don't require drivers to be installed for disabled display adapters

    I have a machine with an integrated display adapter and a PCI adapter running Windows 10. The integrated controller is not supported by Windows 10 and I have disabled it using device manager (I don't have an option to disable it in BIOS). When I attempt to install the DisplayLink core software, it re-enables the disabled adapter and then tells me it cannot install the software because there are no drivers for the adapter that I had disabled.

    Dear DisplayLink macOS users,

    We are pleased DisplayLink 5.0.1 driver for macOS enables multiple extended display support on the latest Apple macOS 10.14.2 with additional features (clamshell and clone). We continue our strong support for the Mac platform and are working on delivering future updates with further performance improvements.
    Driver 5.0.1: https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=1257

    If your DisplayLink enabled device does not seem to work on 10.14, this is most likely due to the OS blocking our kernel extension. Please ensure our kernel extension is enabled by the OS as described in our FAQ: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1188004

    Should you still miss extended displays on latest macOS with latest DisplayLink driver, please create a support ticket so your particular case can be investigated. Here is how: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/755301

    Due to changes in 10.13.4-10.13.6, it is not possible to enable DisplayLink extended displays, except one using Apple AirPlay. If your Mac is from 2011 running 10.13.4-10.13.6 and…

  11. Request: Better Multi-Monitor Stability and GPU Resource Management for DisplayLink on Windows 11

    I’ve been using DisplayLink docks for a while to manage multiple external monitors on Windows 11, and overall, the experience has been great — Granny Game smooth setup, reliable performance, and minimal latency. However, I’ve recently noticed some intermittent stability issues when running high GPU-demanding tasks such as video editing or 3D rendering.

    Occasionally, one or more external displays flicker or temporarily disconnect, especially when switching between GPU-intensive applications. It seems related to how DisplayLink interacts with Windows graphics scheduling or power management.

    Would it be possible for future DisplayLink driver updates to optimize GPU resource allocation and improve refresh…

  12. Some applications detect DisplayLink as incompatible display driver. Problem exists with Adobe Premiere Elements 14, X-Plane, GoPro Quik

    When using DisplayLink some applications show incompatible display driver error. Problem exists with Adobe Premiere Elements 14, X-Plane, GoPro Quik on Windows 10 and I'think at last since version 8 of drivers. Solution is to open them on laptop screen and then switch to displays connected via DisplayLink (in my case i-tec USB 3.0 docking station). It would be nice if it could be solved.

  13. Can DisplayLink add per-monitor color calibration support?

    I’m wondering: Is it possible for future DisplayLink wheelie life drivers to support per-monitor color calibration (ICC profiles) so each DisplayLink-connected screen can use its own accurate color profile?
    Thanks!

  14. When will displaylink support AMD cpu/gpu in Linux

    Currently displaylink-based docking stations and amgpus are not usable on Linux. The screen refresh lagging is horrible.

    Can you provide a plan when this will be fixed or at least make a proper disclaimer that Linux is not supprted. so people can spend their money on working products.

    Thanks.

  16. Need Help: Screen Flickering Error with Windows 11 and Docking Station

    I am having an annoying issue with the external monitor randomly flickering when using a DisplayLink splitter.

    This happens intermittently but more frequently when I have resource-intensive applications open or I am screen sharing via Zoom.

    The second external monitor (or both external monitors block blast) occasionally flickers (turns off and on for 1-2 seconds) and then automatically recovers. The frequency is 5-10 times per hour.
    Usually occurs when the CPU/GPU is under heavy load or when performing graphics tasks.

  19. Engage the Linux Foundation to develop your drivers.

    The Linux Foundation is the place to get things into the kernel. They will help you integrate your hardware into the mainline kernel without compromising any internal IP you may be worried about. Its really the only way to get a driver working for any OS. Work with upstream not against it.

    This translates to Windows and OS X as well. I was frustrated getting my device working with Windows. Complete pain and not plug and play by any means. OS X Mojave doesn't work at all and Linux shows the same behaviour. Flickering on and off rapidly an…
