Ubuntu package with Linux Kernel 5.7 support for new Ryzen Renoir 4000 series laptops
Ubuntu package with Linux Kernel 5.7 support for new Ryzen Renoir 4000 series laptops.
I recently purchased a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 and purchased a Qgeem USB to HDMI adapter to add a second external monitor. The Ubuntu 20.04 displaylink package works but is quite buggy. The video has more lag than on other hardware and the video input can act erratic at times.

Please use versioning format x.x.xx instead of x.x (xx)
We are trying to automate software updates and track inventory of DisplayLink drivers in our macOS environment. Trying to parse versions when the value reports as
4.1 (11)orDisplayLink Driver 4.1.11 - Copyright 2003...makes it difficult.In the driver Info.plist file, please set the
CFBundleShortVersionStringkey in the x.x.xx format. Even better, clean up theCFBundleGetInfoString8 votes -

3 Monitor Support on Chrome OS
As DisplayLink support is not embedded in the ChromeOS 51 build and later, you should add 3+ monitor support for ChromeOS. At this point someone would only be able to run it off of a Chromebook/Chromebox with higher ram (8-16GB+). But adding this support would mean A LOT more business use cases being satisfied.
1 voteDisplayLink imposes no limit on the number of DisplayLink enabled displays that can be connected on Chrome OS from R51 onwards.
Any limitations found will be OS restrictions rather than something added by DisplayLink.

Fix "WindowServer [ERROR] - Unable to find display pipe for IOFB service: 18715" on MacOS

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!1 vote -
Fix glitching mouse pointer in Ubuntu/Arch/Debian
Hi,
I've tried the DisplayLink driver using the recommended os (Ubuntu 16.04). After connecting a secondary display (1080p) using USB-C, I had a trail of blinking mouse pointers following the real one and all the animations started glitching.When moving the mouse over any Window except the Desktop, there would be a glitching square (about double the edge length of the mouse pointer sprite) containing the desktop background around the mouse pointer.
I've also tried Arch Linux (using the AUR package) and Debian 9 (Using the Ubuntu package) and they show the exact same behavior.

Ubuntu driver: using dlm.service is rather unfortunate for a clash with dlm cluster control daemon
See:
https://pagure.io/dlm/blob/master/f/init/dlm.serviceIt would be better if it could fail with an error in case the file already
exists and is not authentic (from previous installation).Thanks for considering.

Fix drivers about screen lag when using external 4K monitor (macOS Catalina)
Please fix DisplayLink Drivers as using an external 4K monitor (Samsung S32R750) with Targus DV4K with latest drivers (5.2.5) on macOS Catalina (10.15.6 on MacBook Pro 16" 2020) plugged through Apple USB-C cable (40 Gbits) is making everything "laggy" on the external 4K (mouse, space change, video playing, etc.).
Everything has been tested (cables check and changes, switching HDMI or DisplayPort, using original Targus single USB-C cable or using Apple USB-C cable, etc.) to see this issue it is ONLY and DIRECTLY linked to DisplayLink Drivers on MacOS.

Add upgrade logic to the Linux installation scripts
I had version 1.1.62 of the Ubuntu driver installed. When I tried to install the new driver, I got errors saying the EVDI module was running and I needed to reboot to continue the installation. After reboot, I got the same error again.
After looking into the running DisplayLinkManager process, I ended up dropping into /usr/lib/displaylink and running the install script there with the uninstall option:
me@mine:/usr/lib/displaylink$ sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh uninstall
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.1.62 install script called: uninstall

MacBook Air M1
I have a HP G2 dock that I use with my work HPG7 laptop. I wanted to use my MacBook Air M1, purchased recently with this dock.
I downloaded the display link driver, as recommended by a few website and within a few minutes, I have extended desktop from my MacBook Air onto my 2x HP E243i monitors.
I can even close the MacBook Air and still use the monitors and USB peripherals.
It's the same experience as my HP G7 laptop1 vote -
We need to be able to select the rendering GPU.
I have 3 GPUs in my computer and the DisplayLink driver always defaults to GPU 0 in the system. I only want GPU 0 to drive a single monitor, and use my secondary GPUs for rendering non-intensive content, which is what I use the USB monitor for.

Add Option to Lock Display Arrangement to Prevent Random Reordering
Suggestion:
Please add an option that allows users to lock their display arrangement so connected monitors do not randomly change order or position after sleep, reboot, or reconnecting a dock.What this would do:
Sometimes after waking from sleep or reconnecting a DisplayLink dock, the monitor order changes unexpectedly, causing windows to open on the wrong screens. A lock option would ensure the layout stays exactly as configured wheelie life.How it should work:
Simple “Lock display layout” toggle in DisplayLink Manager.
Prevent automatic rearranging unless the user manually unlocks it.
Why this matters:
This would greatly…1 vote -
