I am using a laptop in attempt to connect two monitors, which one of them I've decided that I want to connect via the Displaylink hub in attempt to lighten the load on my USB/3.0. My laptop has a intel AND a low-end nvidia GPU built in.
I installed displaylink driver using displaylink-debian without issue. Everything seems to work:
Yet, the monitor attached to the usb/3.0 hub (Dell D3100 with Displaylink DL-5910 chipset) doesn't seems to work.
I almost want to say my the display via displaylink failed to detect, but upon close examination, SOMETHING managed to detect that 2 external monitors were detected (the monitor connected via displaylink is the card0-DVI-I-1 deice)
On top of it, during the login process, gdm3 seems to detect the 2nd external monitor thus painted the background color to the 20.04 dark purple.
Once I log into gnome-shell, though, it seems that xrandr can't detect the 2nd external monitor. Here is the exerpt of xrandr -q.
$ xrandr -q|egrep -v ^\
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3360 x 2560, maximum 16384 x 16384
eDP-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+1103 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
HDMI-1 connected 1440x2560+1920+0 left (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 597mm x 336mm
In attempt to solve the problem, I manually edited 20-displaylink.conf file. The result is that there are a lot more error in dmesg:

I never resolve the problem despite I have successfully installed the driver.
However, I kind of gotten around the problem by switching to Wayland instead of X11.
Wayland detected the monitor without issue.
Since I know nothing about Wayland, I am not sure why Wayland worked but X11 does not.
If anyone who managed to figure out how to get X11 to work, please let me know.

Dear all:
I am using a laptop in attempt to connect two monitors, which one of them I've decided that I want to connect via the Displaylink hub in attempt to lighten the load on my USB/3.0. My laptop has a intel AND a low-end nvidia GPU built in.
I installed displaylink driver using displaylink-debian without issue. Everything seems to work:
Output from xrandr --listproviders
Yet, the monitor attached to the usb/3.0 hub (Dell D3100 with Displaylink DL-5910 chipset) doesn't seems to work.
I almost want to say my the display via displaylink failed to detect, but upon close examination, SOMETHING managed to detect that 2 external monitors were detected (the monitor connected via displaylink is the card0-DVI-I-1 deice)

In attempt to solve the problem, I manually edited 20-displaylink.conf file. The result is that there are a lot more error in dmesg:
Is there anything else I can try?
thanks in advance.
