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:

Avoid boot time stall due to udev rules
The script deployed by the displaylink installer at /opt/displaylink/udev.sh is triggered by udev rules and will run:
systemctl start displaylink-driver
Under certain conditions this will trigger "udevadm settle" to block forever as it leaved processes left and can't return.
I found https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/51760/commits/c72bb28b9cb5138d39647f8fa12394443fea682d which fixes the issue for them.
Applying the same to /opt/displaylink/udev.sh in Ubuntu 20.04 works just fine, the boot is fast again and functionality had no negative impact.So please could you change this line in your code to be like:
systemctl start --no-block displaylink-driver10 votes -

Not working on ubuntu 16.04
After I upgraded to 16.04 LTS, I could not use my DisplayLinks graphics/ethernet adapter for graphics (ethernet works fine). I recently installed the newest driver (1.2.65) but I get this error:
Warning: dlm.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
Job for dlm.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status dlm.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.I run journalctl as suggested by the error message and here is what I get:
26 16:27:28 myhost systemd[1]: Starting DisplayLink Manager Service...

DL main display for Raspbian
Add drivers for ARM, and specifically for Raspbian. Make the drivers work over HDMI instead of (or in addition to) working over USB.
1 voteARM 32 bit binary is included in 4.4.
https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu
That’s not an actively supported platform though, due to the low level of requests. HDMI input in DisplayLink isn’t technically possible today. -
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.

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.
2 votesThe 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.

DisplayLink Not Working Properly with MacBook Pro – External Displays Only After Login
Hi all,
I’m having an issue with DisplayLink on my MacBook Pro (M3) when connected through a docking station. I’ve installed DisplayLink Manager and granted the required permissions (e.g., Screen Recording), but my external monitors only start working after I log into macOS — there’s no display at the login screen.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Is there a setting or workaround to get the external displays to show from boot/login screen, or does this require a driver update from DisplayLink? Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks in advance!

DisplayLink Not working after macos 15 sequoia?
Display link dual monitor setup was working perfectly before this update. Now, neither monitor is detected and no signal is being given to the monitors x trench run. Works individually without display link, so I think it's some interaction with that but not sure. lmk if anyone has a solution

Previous versions of DisplayLink Software
Windows version 8.1 M0 is missing from the Windows Driver Downloads Page under Previous Versions of DisplayLink Software.
3 votesWe have removed versions affected by a small security sensitivity from our website so everyone uses a newer version. 8.1 did not have any specific feature removed afterwards.

Recommendation: Optimized support for 4K and 5K displays
Hello DisplayLink,
I would like to suggest improving the performance and stability when using 4K or 5K displays via DisplayLink connection, especially when running multiple displays or graphics-heavy applications.
This will help the experience be smoother and take full advantage of the high resolution of modern displays.
Thanks to the DisplayLink team for listening to your feedback!

See all dockingstations of same type as same device
Hi!
We have installed a multitude of workstations with the same type of DisplayLink docking station. When moving from one station to another, the monitor settings are "forgotten" and the new Dell D6000 is seen as a completely new device, and new drivers and settings for monitors, network and usb are needed to be configured.
Therefore I suggest making it possible to have the driver think that all docks of the same type is also the same device. This will make this problem go away.
Thanks

Make an option to use the desktop monitor as an extension (not just mirror), therefore it can give us the best match resolution display.
It would be better if the app have an option to use the desktop monitor as an extension monitor, therefore the resolution display setting on the android phone can be different with the resolution display setting on the desktop monitor (not just as a mirror only).
Thanks & Best Regards
Tjetjep1 voteWe would love to do it, but it is not possible to do this from an app. This would need Android OS changes. We’ve pushed for this but the user interest has not been there for Google to adopt this feature into Android.

Feature Suggestion — Better Bandwidth Display and Power Info
I am new here and I want to share a idea about DisplayLink features that maybe help many users. I often use DisplayLink with multiple monitors and sometimes it is little hard to know exactly how much bandwidth and power each display connection use. If software can show clearer info about real-time bandwidth and power usage, this will make setup more stable. In my work I am doing preliminary estimating for project planning, and I often check details before final decision. Sometimes I even look at guides like this one: https://tylerestimating.com/preliminary-estimating-services/

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.

API or Atom Feed of Downloads
It would be highly beneficial to have access to an atom feed or API endpoint to query and determine if there are updates available for driver packages.
