Lag and freezing issues with M4 MacBook + dock Dell D6000

Hi everyone,

I’m having a really frustrating issue with my DisplayLink setup and I’m hoping someone here has experienced the same thing or found a workaround.

I’m using a MacBook M4 connected to a Dell D6000.

Whenever I try to use the MacBook touchpad to scroll a page on the external monitor, the action becomes extremely laggy — it almost freezes for a second, like the system can’t keep up.

The mouse scroll wheel works perfectly, so the problem only happens when using the built-in touchpad.

Other times, the external monitor completely freezes, and I need to disconnect and reconnect the dock to get it working again.

Has anyone else seen this random lag/freezing with DisplayLink on M4 Macs? Any tips or settings I should check?
