Any idea what could be causing this? I'm on dual monitors.
I get something very similar.

I plug 3 monitors into my external displaylink graphic card, and ever since I upgraded to Big Sur I have the following issues:
- works normally well right after reboot
- after a while I get some overall sluggishness (often in conjunction with a Zoom/Meet screen share)
- eventually two of my screens turn black and I can no longer hover my mouse over them.
- at that point, the driver seems to have essentially crashed / gone in an infitite loop
- If I kill the driver and start the driver from scratch, my mac returns more or less in the state its in after a reboot.

I waited until Big Sur 11.3 before upgrading, precisely to avoid these kind of issues... subsequently upgraded to 11.4 but it didn't help.

I am using the latest version of the DisplayLink driver (1.40, build 57.120)
