The display works fine, as far as I can tell. It shows up in the Displays preferences panel, and I can manually set the orientation. But the DisplayLink software shows 2 interesting issues. First and foremost, it lists no detected displays. And second, it always displays the little info message saying "Please allow Notifications blah blah blah..." with a link to "Open Notifications and Focus" but they *are* enabled there. I've rebooted numerous times.
What am I missing?

The Asus display you are using -->
https://www.asus.com/us/displays-des...screen-mb16ac/ is a 'hybrid' display.
When the display is connected to a host computer that supports USB Type-C VESA Alt Mode video output (which your Mac does via it's Thunderbolt/USB-C ports) the display uses that mechanism to work. It does not use the DisplayLink chip within the display, which is why the DisplayLink Manager App reports that there are no DisplayLink displays connected.
The DisplayLink chip will only be active when the display is connected to a host computer via a USB Type-A connection. Asus calls this out specifically in the first information bullet with the aforementioned web link.
Given your description, you should be able to uninstall the DisplayLink Manager App from your system.
