gnome-shell fails to load evdi driver with displaylink

[Oddly]

Describe the bug

I've got a Thinkpad dock with a displayport connected display, connected to my laptop via USB-C. When connecting this display, it shows up in settings with the right resolutions and available settings, but the display does not receive any input.
When looking in journalctl, when plugging in the USB-C cable, you can see that MESA-LOADER fails to load the evdi driver which could explain the above issue.

I'm running NixOS on the unstable channel with Gnome on Wayland. I installed the Displaylink drivers and am using my discrete Nvidia card in my laptop exclusively (turned off igpu and blacklisted i915). I'm using the latest kernel.

Xrandr shows the following when the dock is connected:
$ xrandr --listactivemonitors
Monitors: 2
0: +*eDP-1 2560/340x1600/220+0+0 eDP-1
1: +DVI-I-1 3440/800x1440/340+2560+0 DVI-I-1

$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 0

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start up Gnome in Wayland
2. Plug in the USB-C cable to the dock.
3. Watch the monitor go on, to go off again with "no signal".

Expected behavior

The monitor connected through the dock should just work.
