Hi, may be you are able to install with my forked repository where I've add some changes.

https://github.com/rogue73/displaylink-debian

I've done these changes to get it working on my laptop with Debian/sid that was just updated to kernel 5.16. kali is based on debian so maybe you can successful install displaylink driver as well.

The changes I've done are:

• allow installation up to kernel 5.16
• download and use always the latest displaylink driver even if it's beta
• use a different patch file to patch the original installer script because there are some changes and the old patchfile does not match

After these changes i could install die driver on my laptop with debian/sid kernel 5.16 and connected to a itec displaylink dock. I have no experience how stable it is. Currently it is working well.

Cheers, Rogue73

I tested with your changes. Using kernel 5.15 and after the installation I lost the graphics I just can use terminals, I tried to uninstall but appears is not posible.

Did you have a look at post-install-guide.md? Maybe there are some steps that needs to be done to activate your displays.
At my installation for example i had to activate the providers xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 2 0 xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 3 0 xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 4 0

I haven`t tried the uninstall after i could successful install the beta version but i will try it as soon as possible and give you an update.

Just wanted to point out that this fork worked perfectly for me on Pop!_OS 21.10, just had to remove this section as this was causing my vertical monitor to freeze or the display would turn black even though it was drawing the mouse movement and in my case I'm using a NVIDIA GPU which is already defined in this device section a couple of line below.
