Hi,

My DisplayLink device works on a slightly older laptop with Arch Linux and an nVidia GPU, but fails on my Framework 13 laptop. I can't get any signal through to my two external monitors. Is this a known problem for Framework laptops? Perhaps an AMD problem?


GPU: AMD Radeon™ 760M
Linux kernel: 6.12.10-arch1-1
Monitor 1: Philips 276E8VJSB (DisplayPort)
Monitor 2: iiyama ProLite XUB2493HSU-B1 (HDMI)


Regards,
Sam

Fixed the issue: for anyone Googling it: you need to install linux-headers for dkms to be triggered.
