4 years ago For the record: J removed Ubuntu from one of the Microsoft Surface 3 Pros and installed Debian 10 - something I had wanted to do for some time. As expected, the dock does not work any longer.. :(

4 years ago Great to hear that there is work being done on this!
Alas, no, it is not working on my Surface Pro 3. I use the command: xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 && xrandr --output eDP-1 --primary --output DVI-I-4-4 --auto --right-of eDP-1

4 years ago One thing: my ethernet which is plugged into the dock used to be called something like "displaylink ethernet". Now it is just "ethernet" (just like if I plug the cable directly into the laptop). Also, a green light has gone off on the dock (that light is as far as I can see not mentioned in the manual). This said: the ethernet works fine: I still get the 100 Mbps internet I pay for.

4 years ago Your set up is a lot more complicated. It seems you are running wayland underneath everything and Xwayland on top of wayland to get around other components which requires X11 server.
Because of it, it is a bit hard to debug.
I have a pure wayland desktop (wayland + gnome 3.18) and displaylink detected monitors automatically.
I also have a pure X11 desktop (X11 + xfce + compton just for kicks) and I finally managed to get my X11 environment detect the external monitor, you can read it here:
https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/issues/469
Good luck

4 years ago 1) Re. Wayland/xwayland: I just uncommented the usual "#WaylandEnable=false"I have anyway set both laptops to X11.
2) Harvey, your description in the #469 link is excellent! On my laptops this works: The USB to the dock must be unplugged so it re-initialises. Plug it in and execute a script with the two outputsources that work for you; in my case
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 4 0
Excellent! Now it works on the two laptops that matter to me! Thank you so much. Also many thanks to Barrabas for the evdi 1.7 etc work and, yes,Section "OutputClass" Identifier "DisplayLink" MatchDriver "evdi" Driver "modesetting" Option "AccelMethod" "none" EndSection works for me too.
Adrian, one problem in the displaylink-debian stuff:On the Lenovo e480, I erased all the displaylink stuff, rebooted and reinstalled with wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/master/displaylink-debian.sh wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/master/displaylink.sh wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/master/evdi.sh chmod +x displaylink-debian.sh evdi.sh sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh
It then complained it was missing the resources/displaylink-installer.patch.I fetched it from the HP laptop and all is now well.
I am ecstatic! I lost my expensive door stopper and gained a dock! :)

Because of it, it is a bit hard to debug.
I have a pure wayland desktop (wayland + gnome 3.18) and displaylink detected monitors automatically.
I also have a pure X11 desktop (X11 + xfce + compton just for kicks) and I finally managed to get my X11 environment detect the external monitor, you can read it here:
Good luck

The monitor works fine via the i-tec dock with Surface 3 Pro on Ubuntu 20 and Windows. However, the external monitor doesn't work on Debian 10 on my two main computers: hp Elitebook 8570p and a brand-new Lenovo e480. I connect with Gnome on Xorg on both. The dock happily took over audio, ethernet etc. I have tried with two different monitors.

I have uninstalled / rebooted / installed displaylink-debian several times.
I have tried entering the two elsewhere suggested /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-displaylink.conf files. They were ignored.
Any suggestions for how to progress?
