Hi
I am trying to connect an external display trough USB docking station. All the other ports on docking station work properly except the display. I have tried to install the displaylink driver using displaylink-rpm but i did not get anywhere. Any suggestions?

Two things that might help us figure this out:
Do you see the display listed when you run xrandr?
Shortly after plugging in the USB cable, do you see any relevant messages in dmesg | tail -40 ?

Note that if you have secureboot enabled, you will need to also do these steps or else the module won’t be loaded: GitHub - displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm: RPM sources for the DisplayLink USB display adapters
