  1. Enhancement Request: Improved rendering for "Overlay" windows in IDEs (Visual Studio/VAX)

    Hi Team,

    I’ve been using a DisplayLink-enabled dock for my development workstation for several months now. Overall, the stability is impressive. However, I’ve noticed a specific behavior when using Visual Studio alongside Visual Assist (Whole Tomato).

    The Issue: When DisplayLink is driving multiple high-resolution displays, the "Quick Info" tooltips and "Member List" dropdowns (standard UI overlays in IDEs) occasionally exhibit a slight flicker or a 100ms delay in rendering compared to the main code editor window. This seems to be related to how the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) handles transparency on non-primary displays connected via USB.

    Suggested Improvement:

    Optimization for…

  2. Have you migrated from macOS to Linux?

    Hey I've been using a Macbook from my employer for a few years and I had many ups and downs moments with macOS. I find the standard applications really good like mail, calendar, and keynote. The performance of the M series CPU has no equal, specially for notebooks Geometry Vibes. But at the same time I'm a developer and being on Linux is also so good, the window management, being able to use Docker without a VM, and so on.

  3. 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.

  5. Add new controls

    Please add Display Controls, specifically Brightness and Contrast adjustments, for Windows 8.1 and above. Incorporating these features into the current DisplayLink taskbar application will significantly enhance user experience. By allowing users to easily adjust brightness and contrast directly from the taskbar, we can improve accessibility and provide greater control over display settings. This enhancement will not only streamline the process for users but also ensure that they can optimize their visual experience based on their preferences and needs. Thank you for considering the implementation of these valuable controls!

  6. Ubuntu driver 5.3.1 bug

    You should correct the Ubuntu driver to create the support frame buffer /dev/fb1
    In the last version 5.3.1 installed in Ubuntu 20.04 it's not created.
    Without the /dev/fb1 is not possible to set up a multihead system with loginctl.

  7. DisplayLink v5.2.1 , macOS 10.14.6, MacBook Pro 13,3. Memory leak in WindowServer

    I am using 1 DisplayLink screen, 3 other external screens (2 HDMI, 1 mini DisplayPort) and the internal laptop screen. I have noticed that over time, the WindowsServer process's memory use slowly creeps up, unless the user logs out and logs in again (restarting the window server) Sleeping the Mac does not prevent this. Eventually, the Mac reports that it is "Out of Application memory" and the computer must be rebooted. This only seems to happen if I use the DisplayLink screen.
    This is a relatively recent change. I've been using DisplayLink for many OS X/macOS releases and think that…

  8. Update DisplayLink Driver for macOS to launch automatically and hidden

    Hello,

    We are finding that the autostart script is not bulletproof. Having this scripted along with our installation in JAMF is successful however if the automatic startup checkbox is accidentally unchecked by the user it will no longer be enabled for automatic startup. The humanscale dock is unusable unless the DisplayLink Manager is launched.

    https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1964953-enabling-disabling-displaylink-manager-autostart-v

    Thank you,
    ~ Joe

  9. Hotkeys for screen rotation and other display functions

    Enable hotkeys for screen rotation (and other display functions). Other drivers use ctrl-alt-left and ctrl-alt-up (etc) to rotate the current screen, this should be available for DisplayLink as well. Phones and tablets have set the bar with seamless screen rotation, DisplayLink should support as near to this experience as possible.

  12. Geometry Dash Lite vs. Geometry Dash Full Version: What’s Different?

    In Geometry Dash Lite, customization options are limited, with only a few icons and colors available. The full version expands this significantly, offering more ways to personalize your cube, ship, and other forms. It also introduces a level editor, daily challenges, achievements, and user-created levels, which greatly extend replayability.

  14. Feature Request: Option to Prioritize Performance Mode for Gaming & Animation

    I’m new here and just started using a DisplayLink-powered docking station with my laptop (running Windows 11). First off — I’ve got to say, it’s been great being able to connect multiple monitors through USB-C without the usual cable chaos!
    However, I’ve noticed that when I run certain 3D Geometry Dash applications or lightweight games (like indie rhythm or animation tools), the display sometimes lags slightly — not enough to break things, but just enough to feel off when timing or motion precision matters.
    So I had an idea for a potential feature request:
    👉 Add a “Performance Mode” toggle…

  15. What are the best publishers for first time authors?

    The ideal publishers for first-time authors are the ones that provide the best editorial direction, full transparency, and flexibility in support. The new writers get the most out of the cooperation with the publishing teams that do the editing, designing, and distribution without the imposition of barriers. The use of sites like https://www.australianpublishers.com.au offers organized publishing services, making it easy for first-time authors to know the steps that keep them in creative control and professional standards during their publishing journey.

  16. 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…

  17. Enable visual accessibility settings for partially sighted users

    Both Windows & macOS have tools for applying colour filters to a screen to enable partially sighted users better access to these devices.

    These settings are enforced on monitors directly connected to theses devices and were previously supported on prior versions of DisplayLink when using a Mac but are not working currently.

    Is there a plan to leverage the built-in OS tools to enable this in the future?

  18. integrate with package managers

    It would be lovely if i could keep up with the latest display link drivers and software using brew or apt-get. I don't think that's super hard... better apple/linux support probably a priority... but yeah. I think you have a huge market with people who want the reliability of Apple and the display real estate offered by display link (since apple wants you to use their wimpy graphics cards, or pay through the nose for $1000 retina displays).

    (I have 4 display link driven 24 inch screens connected to my mac, with the 2 supported by my laptop --…

    declined  ·  Wim responded

    Thanks for the suggestion. For Linux we intend to supply and support a driver for Ubuntu, but have designed it to be repackaged for distribution to other Linux distributions.

    We cannot be the experts to maintain this for all Linux distros. We intend to provide the tools to enable it to be ported and added to package managers by those familiar with the particular distro they wish to package it for.

    If you have repackaged it for a package manager, please let us know and we can build a list of supported distros.

  19. Android headshot

    Update the Android app to support screen rotation. You can switch to portrait mode on my display connected monitor. However, unless I switch to landscape mode, my tablet will always show content in a box. It finishes by filling the screen. Please make it possible for me to use the app when holding the phone in portrait mode so that it can fill the screen of my portrait monitor Foodle. For a little moment, it shows the right thing before spinning completely around.

  20. 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 a SoC…
