I recently acquired a 3rd monitor but the port on my GPU is broken so i only have 2 rather than 3, so I bought a DisplayLink USB A to HDMI adapter from CableMatters, however, even after following the instructions on the Arch Linux Wiki i still cannot use the third screen in anyway.

Kernel: 6.4.10-zen2-1
Distribution: Arch Linux
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: nVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super
Desktop Environment: KDE

I followed all the way through the following web-page in an attempt to get it working but to no avail. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DisplayLink

So using the Ubuntu installer, it worked and now my display exists, but it stops updating if my mouse isn't on the screen, so right now, typing this, i don't see anything until i move my mouse, does anyone know anything about this?

I tried to follow the section of the Arch Wiki page for this exact issue but it did not solve the issue
