I installed Ubuntu 20.4 which has connected (via USB 2.0) a Dell Docking Station Model D3100 which has two Dell HP 2311x monitors hooked into it. I have installed DisplayLink with all updates and upgrades implemented onto my system.
I can see via the terminal that DisplayLink via lsusb -d 17e9 but the monitors are not being detected by Ubuntu.

I genuinely have no idea what's happening.
I have a 2019 Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 7390 connected to Dell D6000 docking station and using Dell SE2719HR secondary monitor. The dock uses DisplayLink technology, for all it matters. My Ubuntu version is 20.04.
When I enable Night Light, it is only displayed on the laptop's built-in monitor. Even when I close the lid (which turns off the built-in monitor), Night Light still isn't displayed in the external monitor.
I've tried mirroring displays, extending displays, setting external display as only one active, nothing helped. I went through this topic here and all suggested solutions, none helped either.
Is this a bug of some sort, or am I doing something wrong?
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 and now my multi-monitor setup with DisplayLink is no longer working properly.
CPU usage is almost at 100% all the time where DisplayLinkManager is using about 80% of it.
Did some one managed to setup DisplayLink on Ubuntu 18.04 and got it working smooth? I would love to play videos on the second screen like I could before.
I am using a Zenbook ux31a.
I have a DisplayLink-based external USB monitor, which has both power and data over USB, and seems to work perfectly under Windows 7, but only can display a text console under Ubuntu 10.10, and that I can only use when I am actually switched to it. So the only Use I can have so far is to have some text-based monitoring or console that I can watch while working on the graphic display.
I know there are some development done for DisplayLink, but I never could get it to actually run properly.
Yes, I tried the detailed setup described in other posts, but they did not work, and instead crashed my X that I had to restore.
Merci :-)
Okay, I just got a Lilliput 7" USB Monitor:

Unfortunately, I am having some trouble getting it to work in Ubuntu.
It is a DisplayLink device, so it should work in Ubuntu.
Here is the output of lsusb:

I modified my xorg.conf file to accommodate the device.

All I get is a green screen.
Any tips or advice would be appreciated!
Update: I discovered that X11 was having trouble finding the displaylink_drv.so module, so I fixed that. Then my XServer completely crashed. (Segmentation fault, I believe.)
Now I'm really confused.
